Over 19,000 nurses and 2,000 pharmacists now independently prescribe medicines directly to patients across the most comprehensive range of medicines in the world.
Nurse and pharmacist perscribers now write four million perscriptions per year in England. Our research has been instrumental in evaluating and shaping policy in this area.
Our healthcare researchers are working hard to find evidence based solutions to some of today's most pressing problems.
