General prescribing principles. Supplementary prescribing: an overview.
The independent prescriber (doctor) is responsible for the diagnosis and setting the parameters of the clinical management plan. The supplementary prescriber decides on the product, dosage, frequency, and other variables within the confines of the management plan. The patient's progress must be regularly reviewed by the independent prescriber. The independent prescriber may at any time review the patient's treatment and/or resume full responsibility for the patient's care. The independent and supplementary prescriber must share a common patient record. There must be a good working relationship between the prescribers. Nurse prescribers need to be clear at all times which prescribing regime they are working under--district nurse/health visitor prescriber, extended formulary nurse prescriber or supplementary prescriber.
