This research is part of a service evaluation over the North West of England looking at Non Medical Prescribers, their role and scope.
The patient survey asks patients what they think of the Non Medical Prescribing service. A non-medical prescribing Health Professional is a qualified Nurse, Allied Health worker, or Pharmacist (we do not include Dentists in this survey) specially trained to prescribe medicine, treatment or pills, like a doctor can do, but who is not a medical Doctor. The survey is ONLY about the non-medical prescribers; don’t include visits to your Doctor.
Privacy - The survey asks five questions about you; this is so we can find out what kind of people use the service and to represent the views of different groups (for example, people in work might have different needs than people who don’t work).
We do not ask for names or addresses and we do not have any information about the people the Non Medical Prescriber contacts; there is no way anyone can be identified.
No one from your healthcare service will see your answers or know if you have sent the survey back.
No combination of information that might identify you will be used in any public document.
