Hi, I would like to know is it good to be an independent prescriber? Also, is it a well-paid job and what is the typical working conditions? Would you please share with me??

Thanks a lot!~

As an independent prescriber you would be able to set up clinics to treat people suffering with problems that fall within your chosen specialities.

That's if you can get the time away from the dispensing bench.

The English Pharmacy Board has just been asked to give their views on a guide to independent prescribing. It sets out info for how to become an independent/supplementary prescriber and as a web based document it should have links to info resources for already accredited prescribers.

As soon as it has been OK'd and is up and running I'll let you know how to get to it.
