title: Clinical management. The late show.
abstract: The new GP contract will be a catalyst for nurse prescribing. With most GPs choosing to exercise their right to opt out of out-of-hours care, nurse prescribing will be a key part of establishing new multidisciplinary teams. Factors hindering progress may include nursing shortages and limitations of the independent nurse formulary.
