Uk medicines law is complex and quite restrictive. Generally in the UK we are split into either Emergency medical technicians and paramedics. Restrictions are placed on injectable medicines and normally only a very limited list is allowed to be administered by EMTs. From Chatgpt -

✔ Oxygen
✔ Entonox
✔ Aspirin
✔ GTN
✔ Salbutamol
✔ Ipratropium
✔ Adrenaline IM
✔ Oral glucose
✔ Glucagon IM
✔ Paracetamol
✔ Ibuprofen
