About this session
Join us for this free webinar exploring the new designated Registered Nurse prescriber endorsement and what it means for nurses working in palliative care.
In this session, Palliative Care Nurse Practitioner Jenny McKenzie will unpack the new prescribing pathway in clear, practical terms, including how it differs from Nurse Practitioner prescribing and where it may be most useful in clinical care.
Together, we will explore how this role could be applied across settings such as community, aged care, and rural services, and which nurses may benefit most from pursuing endorsement.
Jenny will also walk through what is required to become an endorsed prescriber, including education, experience, and mentorship, and what prescribing in partnership with an authorised prescriber may look like in everyday practice.
The session will also consider what still needs to be in place before nurse prescribing becomes embedded across workplaces in Australia, including the role of state, territory, and local policy, as well as the challenges services may face in implementation.
This is an interactive session and we encourage you to bring your questions.
Whether you are curious about the pathway, considering endorsement, or thinking about how this could work within your service, we encourage you to join this FREE webinar which will provide practical insights to support your next steps.
