AIM %26lt;br%26gt;To investigate newly registered pharmacists%26apos; awareness of pharmacist prescribing and views on potential future roles as prescribers. %26lt;br%26gt;METHODS %26lt;br%26gt;A mailed questionnaire was sent to all 1658 pharmacists joining the Pharmacist Register in 2009. %26lt;br%26gt;RESULTS %26lt;br%26gt;The response rate was 25.2% (n = 418).
