Nurse Prescribing Programme This programme is based around the framework for maintaining competency in nurse and nurse supplementary prescribing as identified by the National Prescribing Centre.  It acts as a reflective action guide for students undertaking the NMC validated Extended and Supplementary Nurse Prescribing courses (V200 and V300). The interactive workbooks will facilitate the application of theory to practice by identifying critical incidents and accessible resources within the clinical setting. This leads to competent and professionally accountable independent and supplementary prescribing.  It will also provide guidance for practice-based mentors, many of whom have had little preparation for the role. Recent policy changes that extend prescribing powers for nurses and other health professionals have been rapid. This programme meets an area of need that has been identified in evaluating an accredited extended and supplementary nurse prescribing course.
