Scottish prescriber numbers

A total of 575 pharmacists, mostly in community, have completed or are undergoing supplementary prescribing training in Scotland, said Frank Owens, vice-chairman of the Royal Pharmaceutical Society's Scottish Pharmacy Board, at last week's UniChem convention in Barbados.

Mr Owens obtained the figure from NHS Education Scotland a fortnight ago. Of this number, 200 are participating in an independent prescribing conversion course, he said.
