General Practice Nurses play an essential role in delivering care through general practice, taking on a spectrum of different responsibilities within patient care to support the ever-increasing workload within GP surgeries, clinics and health centres. Often working autonomously, as part of a multidisciplinary team, general practice nurses assess, advise and treat patients of all different ages and backgrounds, and therefore may encounter almost every aspect of patient care during their work.
This book is specifically aimed at GP Nurses undertaking independent prescribing within the complexity of contemporary primary healthcare. It offers a complete overview for those taking on an independent nurse prescribing course as well as those nurses who have already qualified as independent prescribers.
Case studies written for the general practice setting will help nurses build on the skills and practice they have already developed as they take on the independent prescribing role, and will also be of value to more experienced or advanced nurses hoping to refresh their existing knowledge. Written by a range of specialist authors, the book also covers the theoretical knowledge and context associated with independent prescribing, enabling GP nurses to practise competently and confidently and deliver clinically effective, person-centred care.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
The extensive, varied knowledge and expertise of the authors has contributed to provide this excellent, detailed, resource for the non-medical prescribing workforce in GP practice. The design and format highlighting 'key points', 'think abouts' and 'must dos' enables the reader to pinpoint specific areas of practice providing stimulating reading and areas for reflection. Thoughtfully written with excellent attention to detail this book will provide an invaluable clinical resource, and is one I will be using within my own clinical and teaching practice. -- Clare Hearn - Lead Nurse Innovations in Primary Care, Practice Assessor, Visiting Fellow UOB This is a must-read text for all nurse prescribers in primary care. It will be of particular use to those new to prescribing, but also provides excellent revision and updating for experienced prescribers. The chapters comprehensively cover all aspects of prescribing practice with rigour, humanity and understanding of the everyday opportunities and challenges facing GP nurse prescribers. -- Janet Ahmad - Former Senior Lecturer, University of Brighton A really comprehensive view of independent prescribing for General Practice Nurses, easy to navigate through the chapters and fantastic attention to detail. It is an essential resource for all healthcare professionals. -- Dee Kellett, Primary Care Workforce Tutor - Sussex Training Hub
