    Abstract
    Abstract published with permission. This article will cover: l The relevant legislation relating to medicines and ambulance services l The restrictions that apply to different organisations or individuals regarding the possession of medicines l Regulations on the administration and supply of medicines l Patient Group Directions and Patient Specific Directions. The law in relation to the possession of medicines, administration to patients and the supply of medicines is separate. This article also provides guidance to ambulance services and ambulance clinicians on available options to ensure good patient access to medicines in England. The laws described also apply in Scotland and Wales but there are some different national processes. The law both enables and restricts access to medicines. However, it does require interpretation and a pharmacist can help with this. Where interpretation is contentious then organisations may obtain a legal opinion. Legal opinions can also differ, and can only be resolved in court.
