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.
“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”
“NMP has demonstrated patient care and economic benefits.”
