DEBATE OVER NURSE PRACTITIONER ROLE

A war of words has broken out over the role of nurse practitioners in the delivery of primary healthcare after the ACT gave approval to a clinic run by nurse practitioners.
The Royal College of General Practitioners (RACGP) and the Australian Medical Association have urged the ACT Assembly to delay approval for the clinic until there is assurance that it will do no harm.
The RACGP's faculty chair for NSW and the ACT, Dr Elizabeth Marles said she was concerned that GPs in the local area had not been consulted about the decision.
"As GPs we build trust by offering whole person, continuing, comprehensive and coordinated care," she said.

Hold off on nurse partnerships: Guild

The Pharmacy Guild has advised pharmacy owners across Australia to wait before collaborating with nurses after the ACT Government authorised nurse practitioners to work within a pharmacy.
The territory's government gave its approval to five nurse practitioners with prescribing powers to operate within a pharmacy in Tuggeranong following an application by Revive Clinic.
The clinic already has in-pharmacy nurses operating in Western Australia, NSW and Queensland, despite a condition imposed by the Federal Government last year requiring nurses to collaborate with doctors before being allowed to write out prescriptions under the PBS.
