Together with six other Allied Health Professions, the campaign is calling on the UK Government to use the powers it has under the Medicines and Medical Devices Act(2021), to extend independent prescribing responsibilities to those AHPs that form the coalition, where it is safe and appropriate to do so within the scope of their professional practice.
