Independent prescribing is an essential component of today’s healthcare practice, with nurses, pharmacists and allied health professionals increasingly responsible for prescribing decisions within multidisciplinary teams. Trounce’s Independent Prescribing in Contemporary Healthcare provides a practical, up-to-date guide to safe and effective prescribing, fully integrating the clinical reasoning, patient-centered decision-making, and competency-based practice required in real-world prescribing. Grounded in the Royal Pharmaceutical Society Prescribing Competency Framework and relevant professional standards such as those from the NMC, this unique text guides readers through the full prescribing process from assessment and treatment selection to monitoring and evaluation.
Key Features
- Emphasises strong clinical assessment and consultation skills, enabling prescribers to fully understand the patient’s condition, context, and preferences before considering treatment options, as well as the importance of sound pharmacological knowledge, ensuring prescribers understand how medicines work, their therapeutic benefits, risks, alternatives, and monitoring requirements
- Guides prescribers in working collaboratively with patients to select the most appropriate treatment options, evaluate outcomes, and monitor for both effectiveness and potential adverse effects
- Links prescribing practice to the standardised prescribing competency framework, using real-world case studies, clinical scenarios, and prescribing vignettes to translate theory into safe clinical practice
- Covers key issues such as the legal, ethical, and governance aspects of prescribing; medication reviews, deprescribing, and polypharmacy; medication adherence and concordance; risk management; using BNF and other prescribing resources effectively; and prescribing for vulnerable and complex patient groups
- Serves as a complement to Trounce’s Clinical Pharmacology for Nurses and Allied Health Professionals by moving beyond pharmacological principles to show how prescribing decisions are made, implemented, monitored, and evaluated in contemporary patient-centered healthcare
- An eBook version is included with purchase. The eBook allows you to access all of the text, figures, and references, with the ability to search, make notes and highlights, and have content read aloud
