Abstract
Nurse independent prescribing (NIP) within adult community palliative care has been implemented in many areas ito improve the quality of care for these patients by providing a more flexible and streamlined service. In order to evaluate whether NIP does benefit community palliative patients, a small case study was carried out comparing how long it took for patients to receive their medication following assessment or review by the palliative care clinical nurse specialist (CNS), both before and after implementation of NIP. The results suggest that NIP resulted in more timely access to medication for these patients.
