  • Introducing nurse prescribing in a substance misuse treatment service

    • Nurse Prescribing 2012 Vol1 10 No 11
    • November 4, 2012
    Authors: Steve Turner, Hazel Roberts, Angela Andrews

    Key Points
    ■Dedicated resources, and a structured plan, are needed help develop non medical prescribing (NMP) effectively on a large scale across organizations
    ■Projects such as this benefit from being approached as interdisciplinary ‘prescribing’ projects rather than NMP projects
    ■ The use of change management techniques helps identify and remove barriers and increases stakeholder engagement
    ■Robust overarching governance arrangements underpin the success of large scale implementation of NMP
    ■ The introduction of NMP creates an opportunity to develop sustainable educational resources and strengthen interdisciplinary working

    Included in the IHI Casebook II

  • Introducing non-medical prescribing and an inter-disciplinary Prescribing Governance Framework for all Prescribers in a Substance Misuse Team.

    • Institute for Healthcare Improvement Casebook II (p.34)
    • March 1, 2013
    Authors: Steve Turner, Hazel Wright (Roberts), Angela Andrews

    Context:
    The project brief was to implement non-medical prescribing (NMP) within a substance misuse treatment service in order to increase flexibility of resources for delivery of care. To do this effectively all prescribers needed to work together.

    Problem: Doctors and Nurses had different prescribing governance structures. To improve access to services in a rural area. To maintain, develop and audit quality evidence based prescribing and improve medicines optimisation.

    Assessment of problem and analysis of its causes:
    Need for accessible high quality prescribing resources across a wide rural area.
