Well worth a read and will certainly interest those reviewing podiatry programs. The custom and practice in the UK has been once Supplementary Prescription Rights have been granted then Intedendent Prescription Rights will liklely follow.
This has serious implications for undergraduate core syllabi and gives fine focus for post graduate and CPD in podiatry.
You have mentioned in the past that independent prescribing rights are on the way. I wonder where did you hear this and will it be part of the Porcine Aviation Bill that was mentioned in the queens speech.

Hi Akbal what I said was.

So it is not written in stone but likely to come to pass based on history.
Speaking to people who work within the Government and with HPC, it is felt, independent status will be a logical progression, and unlikely to be granted only after supplementary status on the profession has been first established.
I am sure you are right but I will not be convinced until it happens.
And as far a supplementary prescribing, group protocols give more freedom to the clinicians and have been around for some time and appear to be easier to organise. What do you think of them?
I think the intent of government is clear and manifest. They will forge changes in the health care industry and not always to the good, I fear. The momentum of change is in overdrive and abrupt to keep pace with the Agenda. and silence its critics. Unfortunately I do not have a crystal bowl but my guess is there has been a line drawn in the sand and there is no going back.
