Can you help with our prescribing toolkit? Get in touch if you could provide a short written or video testimony.

We'd love to hear about the transition from training to prescriber, or innovative ways of implementing prescribing in your workplace.

Case site needed!

We're still looking for a dietitian who has just begun NMP training to take part in a case study. We'd collect data before and after you qualify as a prescriber to assess the impact of your prescribing.

Get in touch if you can help.

[TRaDiP study University of Surrey @TRaDiPstudy]

Our first case sites are now open and recruiting participants! We're interviewing staff, and patients attending the participating clinics will be given information about the study and invited to take part too.

More sites will be opening in 2022.

We've been a bit quiet on here as we're busy preparing for our case studies to begin.

These are a key part of our study - collecting data from practitioners, their colleagues and patients to assess the impact of prescribing by dietitians and therapeutic radiographers.

[TRaDiP study University of Surrey @TRaDiPstudy]

Case sites needed!

Are you a Dietitian or Therapeutic Radiographer working for the NHS in England and beginning your NMP training in January 2022?
