Of these although Physiotherapists have had the capability to register for further education for prescribing rights in both Supplementary Prescribing (since 2005) and Independent Prescribing (since 2013), to date only @500 Physiotherapists are annotated as having SP or IP on their HCPC status, which represents less than 1% of the profession.

We aim to use a questionnaire, developed by an expert panel and refined using cognitive interviewing, shared online via social media by 2 gatekeepers
