| Annotation | Nurse prescribing has become increasingly important in allowing nurses to assume more proactive roles in ways designed to promote better self-care and concordance with medications by service users. There is currently little evidence of how this can be accomplished in work with older people with cognitive impairments. The authors consider the experiences of service users and family carers, based on a small-scale qualitative research study carried out during the early stages of implementing nurse prescribing from a memory clinic in Doncaster. They review the lessons learned from this formative evaluation. (RH). |
