The chapter Legal and professional accountability for nurse prescribing by Breda Gibson (taken from the book Current Issues in Nurse Prescribing by Molly Courtenay) describes the background to changes in legislation that have occurred with the implementation of nurse prescribing. It moves on to consider the law of negligence itself and areas where potential breaches of duty of care may occur in prescribing.
In short this is a valuable resource for nurses undertaking the prescribing programme and for qualified nurse practitioners.
