Summary
In the UK, the education and training landscape for healthcare students has changed considerably in the last few years. This is largely because of key governmental policies introduced in response to the wider workforce issue in the UK National Health Service. In this chapter, we discuss recent UK policies and standards relevant to non-medical prescribing and reflect on the potential implications they may have on the provision of future education and training for undergraduate and prescribing course providers and students. We also highlight opportunities for providers that will help future-proof programmes
