Hi Folks,
As I am sure you are all aware we are all now registered on the third part of the NMC register as Public health nurses.
Interestingly if you look at the NHS plan and the Wanless report 2004 you will see that the government is taking OH down this public health pathway and future training proposals from the NMC are likely to reflect that!. Its about time we in OH woke up to what is happening!
I am not saying this is right, only that as regards prescribing we are being railroaded into an extended public health role which almost certainly will result in us all being required to prescribe in the future and yes, nurse prescribing is something which increases our knowledge base and skills

I too have had a similar experience and agree with you and Greta It has
taken over three years to bring everyone round to the idea that OH by
definition is not a treatment service. The fight has been long and hard but
worth it . Some die hard's still feel that I have taken away something that
was theirs as a right.
