Prescribing in cancer care

Robertson, Deborah

Abstract

Last month, the research round-up provided you with an overview of articles focusing on prescribing in countries outside of the UK to try and gain a more global perspective on nurse prescribing practices. This month, we will examine a range of articles looking at prescribing in various aspects of cancer care. The first is a systematic review of the impact of nurse and pharmacist clinics with patients on anti-cancer medication, their care and experience. The second is a quantitative piece looking at nurse prescribing of opioids in cancer pain. Finally, we conclude with a review of pancreatic enzyme prescribing in the form of a national audit.
