The Ministry of Health & Wellness has progressed efforts to grant prescriptive rights to advanced nursing practitioners. The disclosure was made by Minister of Health & Wellness, Dr Christopher Tufton during his recent Sectoral presentation in Parliament. Already, the Minister explained, a committee chaired by Professor Eldemire Shearer has been formed to examine training requirements, including continuing medical education associated with nurse practitioners prescribing medication. The Committee will widen the discussions and finalise recommendations on prescriptive rights,” the Minister said. “This (prescriptive rights for nurses) is an example of that and so we must move speedily to complete this process,” the Minister said.
