Abstract
Background: Research has identified continuing professional development for active prescribers to be a challenge; particularly a lack of confidence and anxiety around prescribing. Anecdotally, support to regain prescribing knowledge and competence to facilitate safe prescribing requires some exploration for organisations, mangers and practitioners. Aim: To obtain an insight into practitioners’ experiences of returning to prescribing in their clinical role following a period of non-activity. Methods: Online semi-structured interviews with five prescribers were conducted, with interview transcripts thematically analysed by the research team. Results: Four themes were generated: individual; the team; the organisation; and the mismatch between the three. Conclusion: Considering these results is important to support those who return to prescribing to ensure safe and effective practice, and a positive experience for all involved.
