title: Extended formulary nurse prescribing courses.
abstract: Courses for 'extended formulary' nurse prescribing have been running since January, and the formulary is due to be extended further. Nurse executive directors and primary care trust lead nurses are being encouraged to look carefully at their workforces and services. If they decide that supplementary prescribing partnerships can improve services or put team skills to better use, they should nominate nurses for the centrally funded training. Details are available at www.doh.gov.uk/supplementaryprescribing.
