This section features a constantly updated list of recently published articles relevant to nurse prescribing.

Abstracts of the papers are included and incorporate an expert's opinion about the article. Users are encouraged to submit their views about published papers through the feedback section.

Please note: In this section of the website we aim to cover articles on areas where nurses do prescribe. However, not all the treatments or appliances mentioned are prescribable by nurses. For that reason, nurses should check the up-to-date versions of the Nurse Prescribing Formulary and Drug tariff if they are in any doubt.
