The main findings indicated that planning in
advance of the development of nurse prescribing was limited, as
was the establishment of the necessary infrastructure to underpin
the implementation and support for nurse prescribers themselves.
There was recognition of areas of good practice and
acknowledgement that robust governance systems are in place to
ensure effective risk management. A number of recommendations
were made as a result of the project, some of which are specific
to nurse prescribing, while others are for consideration by Trusts as
they continue to develop new roles and extend the roles of nurses
and midwives. A copy of the final report can be downloaded by
