As you progress through your clinical experience and paramedic career, especially within the primary care setting, you may also come across the MIMS prescribing guide (www.mims.co.uk/). This is an up‐to‐date prescribing reference for healthcare professionals. MIMS is updated constantly online, to reflect the latest approved prescribing information, along with the addition of new drugs and formulations, and also removes products that are no longer available. MIMS is primarily intended for use by GPs and healthcare professionals undertaking advanced roles working within primary care. All prescribing healthcare professionals wishing to access this resource, including paramedics, will need to subscribe to MIMS to access either the online version or the quarterly print edition.
