Abstract | Background Non-medical prescribing is well-established in healthcare. Two models are used in practice: supplementary prescribing and independent prescribing. Supplementary prescribing incorporates higher levels of supervision and governance and is the model permitted for use by dietitians. Aim To explore the value of supplementary prescribing from a dietitian's perspective. Method Non-medical prescribing models will be evaluated to establish the benefits and drawbacks of each and discussed in relation to dietetic practice. Results Both models of prescribing are perceived positively by patients. Training for both models is identical and enables the practitioner to work within their scope of practice. However, the clinical management plan, necessary for supplementary prescribing, is limiting and can prevent practitioners from implementing their role efficiently. Conclusions Supplementary prescribing has allowed dietitians to begin prescribing, but for other professions, this model has been superseded by independent prescribing. Supplementary prescribing may be becoming redundant in the 2020s. |
