The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether his Department plans to mandate (a) training and (b) continuing professional development for prescribers and pharmacists on recognising and managing Topical Steroid Withdrawal.
Answered by Karin Smyth
Regulated healthcare professionals need to meet the standards of proficiency, conduct, and performance set by the relevant professional regulator, which are independent of the Government. It is the responsibility of individual employers to ensure their staff have appropriate access to ongoing training and professional development to provide safe and effective care.
