[QUOTE="donnellysdogs, post: 736925, member: 17713"] Depends whether the nurses you see are nurse practitioners.. Nurse can't prescribe without a gp signature. Nurse practitioners can.... Eg our nurse practitioner that I saw a couple weeks ago as an acute urgent appointment could just prescribe me bottle of glucogel without gp signature. If I had just seen a nurse then I would have gad to wait for the nurse to get the gp to sign. This is why many receptionists ask whats wrong with you so they can get you seen more urgently if necessary by a nurse practitioner if GP appointments are all taken. The receptioniats aren't being nosey... They just ask nowadays to see if they can get people seen by nurse practitioners because joe public assumes only a GP can prescribe. They must be nurse practitioners thiugh.. Not just nurses. They must have done the necessary training to allow them to prescribe. [/QUOTE]
