Speaking in the House of Lords on 21 October 2025

Debate

Human Medicines (Authorisation by Pharmacists and Supervision by Pharmacy Technicians) Order 2025

Contribution

In future, as pharmacist prescribers become more commonplace, these changes will allow for pharmacists to deliver more NHS services, which I think will be important, notwithstanding the points made by the noble Baroness, Lady Hollins, and will help to deliver the shift from hospital to community. These changes will also make better use of the skills of pharmacy technicians, allowing them to play a greater role in dispensary management and creating more professional roles in local communities.
