Abstract

Prescribing in palliative care was an ‘early candidate’ area for the extension of nurse prescribing authority, but has failed to meet expectations. The low number of nurse prescribers working in palliative care, and the impact of the lack of this kind of professional, has received little attention. This paper gives details of an ‘in-depth service evaluation project’ relating to the prescribing activity of specialist palliative care nurse independent prescribers (SPCNIPs) in one community palliative care team to ascertain the volume of their prescribing activity as well identifications of the outcomes and influences to their prescribing activity.
