Summary

There are many responsibilities and challenges organisations need to address to ensure the selection of nurses for extended/supplementary prescribing occurs within an environment which guarantees success and fits the long-term objectives of the organisation in terms of role re-design and service delivery. As a local lead it is important to recognise the challenges influencing the development, implementation and effectiveness of nurse prescribing. This article considers some of those challenges and shares the experience of Coventry Teaching Primary Care Trust. The article provides some food for thought for nurses wanting to become prescribers, organisations and Higher Educational Institutes.
