Abstract:
This review describes the current status of prescribing by nurses and other nonmedical staff in the UK with particular emphasis on issues affecting secondary care dermatology departments. We discuss background issues of how the process has evolved, the requirement for this initiative and its assessment, the terminology applied to different groups of prescribers, and training issues.
