- Title
Supplementary prescribing for nurses.
- Authors
Hall, Jason
- Abstract
The three classifications of nurses that can prescribe are community nurses, extended nurse prescribers and supplementary prescribers. Supplementary prescribers can prescribe almost any medicine provided it has been specified in the clinical management plan. Supplementary prescribing is likely to benefit those patients with uncomplicated chronic conditions and is open to all registered nurses who have completed the appropriate training. Both nurses and their managers should be aware of potential pressures on clinical decision-making and appropriate support and encouragement should be provided.
