The National Health Service (Miscellaneous Amendments Relating to Independent Prescribing) Regulations 2006
These Regulations make consequential changes to three sets of National Health Service Regulations that apply in England. The changes arise out of new arrangements for the independent prescribing of drugs and appliances by nurses and pharmacists. Independent nurse prescribers, unless they are community practitioner nurse prescribers, will no longer be limited to prescribing from a particular formulary, and nor will a new category of independent prescriber known as pharmacist independent prescribers.
