Follow the conference on X #NursePrescribingSummit

The 2025 Nurse Prescribing Leadership Summit, which is now in its Ninth year, will take place virtually and will bring together Nurse Prescribers to understand current issues and the national context, and to debate and discuss key issues and areas they are facing in practice. This CPD certified conference provides a unique opportunity to learn from the experiences of other nurse prescribers and develop your skills as an effective Nurse Prescriber. The programme will focus on developing your skills, competence and confidence in Nurse Prescribing. Through national updates, practical case studies and a choice of interactive workshops the conference aims to support you to improve both prescribing practice and patient care, and provide networking opportunities with nurses who are prescribing in your clinical specialty. The conference will enable you to define your personal prescribing formulary, and aligning it with your knowledge and competence within the clinical area in which you practice.

“When prescribed and used effectively medicines have the potential to significantly improve the quality of lives and improve patient outcomes. However, the challenges associated with prescribing the right medicines and supporting patients to use them effectively should not be underestimated... The knowledge, skills and behaviours which underpin good prescribing are common to all prescribers, and patients rightfully expect the same quality of care regardless of the professional background of the individual prescribing for them.”

RPS

“Patients should be able to receive their medicines from the clinician providing their care without the need to see another clinician, usually a doctor, just to receive their medicines… The risk is that without full use of existing medicines supply routes to patients, the healthcare workforce’s contribution will be hampered, and patient outcomes and experience compromised.”

The NHS England Prescribing Support Assurance Framework 2024

“NMP has demonstrated patient care and economic benefits.”
