Abstract

This article considers the impact on district nurse practice of changes to medicines law introduced by the Medicines (Exemptions And Miscellaneous Amendments) Order 2009 that allows independent nurse prescribers to prescribe unlicensed medicines. These changes include the right to mix medicinal products so that they can be administered together as a single dose in, for example, a syringe driver.
