Abstract
Recent and substantial changes in access to restricted medicines by podiatrists in Australia are clearly consistent with healthcare policies aimed at reshaping the healthcare workforce. At the same time, prescribing and access to medicines by allied health professionals, including podiatrists, has been the focus of a recent scoping project by the UK Department of Health. In this commentary we explore the possible implications of these changes. |
