- Decision
- Carried
This conference is concerned that nurse prescribing is not being introduced in a properly co-ordinated manner. We therefore call on the Health Group Executive to meet urgently with the Department of Health with a view to the DoH:-
1.Producing guidelines to ensure a common standard of non medical prescribing is provided in all Trusts in relation to Trust policy.
2.Ensuring that non medical prescribers are not made to undertake further unnecessary training to prove that they are safe practitioners.
3.Disseminating examples of good practice throughout the NHS in relation to policy and procedures
4.Adequately funding SHAs to enable them to provide the necessary support and training for non medical prescribers.
