Dear Glenn,
it seems like an awful lot of trouble to go to just to be able to
prescribe mantoux.
I'd not go near a nurse prescribing course unless I was actively
involved in chronic disease management. I think this falls well outside
the OHA remit. I don't think you'd get enough prescribing experience to
retain competence at prescribing.
Regards
Paul

Hello
this has been asked and discussed some time ago, but I wonder if anyone
has since undertaken the nurse prescribing course and if so how it has
influenced or aided practice.
I'm particularly thinking of the issues surrounding Mantoux testing
solution which, I believe, still requires an individual prescription.
Previously the general view appeared to be that nurse prescribing in OH
was not indicated but has this changed now?
regards
Glenn
