Description
Independent prescribing is now central to modern healthcare practice, with nurses, allied health professionals, and pharmacists increasingly responsible for complex prescribing decisions. Trounce’s Independent Prescribing in Contemporary Healthcare provides a comprehensive, practice-focused approach, bringing together clinical reasoning, patient-centred decision-making, and competency-based practice to support safe, real-world prescribing.Grounded in the Royal Pharmaceutical Society Prescribing Competency Framework and aligned with Nursing and Midwifery Council standards, this practical guide supports prescribers across the full decision-making process—from patient assessment and consultation through to treatment selection, monitoring, and evaluation. At its core, this book emphasises that effective prescribing is not just about medicines, but about understanding the patient. It develops the clinical assessment, consultation, and shared decision-making skills required to deliver safe, personalised care.
Key Features
- Builds confidence in clinical assessment and consultation, ensuring prescribers fully understand the patient before making prescribing decisions
- Strengthens pharmacological knowledge in context, linking how medicines work to real-world prescribing choices, risks, and monitoring
- Supports collaborative, patient-centred decision-making, from treatment selection through to evaluation of outcomes
- Brings the prescribing competency framework to life through case studies, clinical scenarios, and practical prescribing vignettes
- Addresses key contemporary prescribing challenges, including legal and ethical considerations, polypharmacy and deprescribing, adherence, risk management, and prescribing for complex or vulnerable groups
