Pharmacists became supplementary prescribers over a year ago - the first registered pharmacist to sign a prescription was pictured in The Journal on 27 March 2004 (p369).Earlier this month the Society hosted a meeting to discuss progress made over the past year and the description of proceedings (p513) makes uncomfortable reading.When supplementary prescribing was first mooted,the Government had high hopes that there would be 1,000 trained pharmacist supplementary prescribers by the end of 2004.
