Prescribing standards do not differ by professional title. A pharmacist IP, ANP prescriber, and GP all need the same reference stack — because a prescribing error is a prescribing error regardless of who makes it.
Core sources: relevant SmPCs on eMC for authorised product particulars; NICE CKS for condition-led pathways; and applicable SPS, local or specialist guidance for medicines use and implementation.
Decision support: Ask iatroX (clinical Q&A informed by SmPCs via eMC), interaction checkers within clinical systems.
Special populations: UKTIS (prescribing in pregnancy — surpasses current UK medicines information for pregnancy safety data), Medstopper (deprescribing guidance), renal dosing references.
Dose calculators: iatroX calculators, MdCalc.
Professional standards: Prescribing accountability is equivalent across all prescriber types. NMC, GPhC, and HCPC standards all require evidence-based, safe prescribing practice.
Ongoing competence: Prescribing CPD is required for all prescribers. Document prescribing encounters, reflections, and learning for revalidation.
iatroX provides cited clinical synthesis informed by applicable guidance and medicines information from relevant SmPCs on eMC. Prescribers must still check the exact product, follow local policy and work within their legal scope.
