title: Nurse prescribing: developing the evaluation agenda.
abstract: Nurse prescribing raises complex issues, including erosion of the medical monopoly on control of medication management, compensation for physician shortage and the introduction of guideline-driven prescribing (Jordan and Hughes 1996, McCartney et al 1999). This article sets the recent UK developments in context and discusses the evaluation agenda.
