This publication is based on the NCPC's survey of the specialist palliative care workforce in England to assess issues surrounding non-medical prescribing (NMP) in palliative care. The results from this survey, together with the 2006 'Our Health Our Care Our Say' White Paper and the forthcoming End of Life Care Strategy prompted NCPC to investigate further the issues, solutions and impact of NMP in palliative care. This publication has been written to inform non medical prescribers, those thinking of initiating NMP, service planners, commissioners and policy makers.
