In part, classification rests on how much health professional input is needed to diagnose and treat the conditions for which the medicine might be used' (Gov.uk 2014) The classification of medicine is where you can get it from whether that be prescription only, from the pharmacy or over the counter, different medication can be from different places, such as Tramadol can only be prescription only, certain nasal sprays and throat sprays can be over the counter and paracetamol and be bought from a pharmacy.]]> 2021-04-22 11:03:46 UTC https://padlet.com/30090660/n7gh41ymdnz5tm0z/wish/1446616711 emma_buttrick https://padlet.com/30090660/n7gh41ymdnz5tm0z/wish/1611978382 Nicely presented piece of work, well done for using Padlet.
