(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order changes three recordable qualifications in the statutory register of nurses and midwives, maintained by the Nursing and Midwifery Council. The former recordable qualification to order drugs, medicines and appliances from the District Nurse and Health Visitor Formulary has been changed to a qualification to order them as a community practitioner nurse prescriber. The former qualification to order drugs, medicines and appliances from the Extended Formulary has been changed to a qualification to order them as a nurse independent prescriber (for whom there is no specific formulary). Additionally, some nurse independent prescribers are qualified to act as supplementary prescribers (persons who prescribe in accordance with clinical management plans), and the former annotation for supplementary prescribers has been amended to reflect the dual nature of their qualification.
