Speaking in the House of Lords on 21 October 2025
Debate
Human Medicines (Authorisation by Pharmacists and Supervision by Pharmacy Technicians) Order 2025Contribution
I heard the noble Baroness, Lady Bennett, and the noble Lord, Lord Kamall, refer to physician associates. I shall make some general, but I hope helpful, comments. There will always be contrasting reactions to growing roles of healthcare professionals, and I understand that. That will be reflected in the consultation that noble Lords referred to. But I re-emphasise the points that I have just made about what pharmacy technicians are, what their training is and what the expectations of them are.
