Decisions : Surrey Heartlands Medicines Optimisation Board (MOB)
Records returned : 7.
The Medicines Optimisation Board approved the updated primary care guidance for multi-professional prescribers.
Note: Multi-professional prescribing (MPP) was formerly referred to as “non-medical prescribing” and known as independent prescribing; however, this newer term reflects a wider number of healthcare professionals who can prescribe within their scope of practice once they have completed an approved education programme and is more accurate and inclusive. This term is increasingly being adopted by professional bodies including the Royal Pharmaceutical Society (RPS) who author the prescribing competency framework.
The Surrey Heartlands Integrated Care System Area Prescribing Committee agreed the reviewed and updated Psoriatic arthritis high cost immunomodulator treatment pathway
