Abstract:
The extension of independent nurse prescribing has paved the way not only for extending the Nurse Prescribers' Formulary, but also for the expansion of prescribing rights to other groups of practitioners, including tissue viability nurses. Initial evidence suggests that the changes have been a success, but this paper will discuss the implications for nurses and for patients.
