Paramedics set to prescribe medicines Advanced paramedics in England will be able to prescribe medicines to people who do not need hospital treatment, under new laws starting on Sunday.
Up to seven out of 10 people currently seen by advanced care paramedics may need help - but not a hospital visit.
Paramedics only have a limited ability to supply medicines at the moment but will now be able to do this without delay or the patient seeing their GP.
Rachel Power, The Patients Association chief executive, called it "good news". BBC News
