General practice nurses are crucial in providing care through general practice, assuming a wide range of responsibilities within patient care to assist with the growing workload in GP surgeries, clinics, and health centers. Frequently working autonomously, as part of a multidisciplinary team, general practice nurses assess, advise, and treat patients of various ages and backgrounds, potentially encountering almost every aspect of patient care during their work.

This book is specifically designed for GP nurses who are engaging in independent prescribing within the complexities of contemporary primary healthcare. It provides a comprehensive guide for those embarking on an independent nurse prescribing course as well as those nurses who have already qualified as independent prescribers.

Case studies specifically tailored for the general practice setting will aid nurses in building upon the skills and practices they have already acquired as they transition into the independent prescribing role. Additionally, these case studies will be valuable to more experienced or advanced nurses seeking to refresh their existing knowledge. Authored by a diverse group of specialist authors, the book also delves into the theoretical knowledge and contextual framework associated with independent prescribing, empowering GP nurses to practice competently and confidently, ultimately delivering clinically effective, person-centered care.
