Principles for Quality and Safe Prescribing Practice – published by the NZNO

• In partnership with six other responsible authorities, the Nursing Council of New Zealand have  published Principles for quality and safe prescribing practice.

• This document presents a set of principles to assist health practitioners who prescribe to undertake and maintain quality prescribing practice. It is intended to support equitable access, culturally safe practice and to give effect to Te Tiriti o Waitangi.

• They are a complementary resource to the Council’s prescribing competencies and guidance documents. Nurses should apply the principles alongside standards and guidance documents to maintain consistently safe, high-quality, best prescribing practice and ensure public safety.
