This article presents the findings from the evaluation of nurse prescribing, undertaken in eight demonstration sites since October 1994. The authors examine in particular the nurses’ prescribing behaviour and the type of items nurses and GPs would like to see added to the formulary. The opportunities for prescribing and the limitations of the formulary for health visitors and practice nurses are highlighted.
