The National Substance Misuse Non-Medical Prescribing Forum is a peer support network for nurses, pharmacists and allied health professionals working in the substance misuse field who have an interest in working towards or are practicing as non-medical prescribers
We meet 3 times per year and provide a forum where non-medical prescribers can
- exchange experiences
- share and disseminate good practice
- explore problems and challenges
- develop peer support and professional networks
We aim to contribute to the continued professional development of members via educational presentations and facilitating peer learning by discussion and reflection
We also provide a forum for consultation on documents and concepts pertaining to the development of non-medical prescribing in the substance misuse field
We seek to influence policy makers and other professional organisations to promulgate non-medical prescribing in the substance misuse field
