A Nurse Prescriber is a registered nurse with advanced training and qualifications that allow them to prescribe certain medications and treatments. In New Zealand, Nurse Prescribers complete additional education in pharmacology and clinical assessment, enabling them to prescribe within their area of expertise, such as long-term condition management, minor illnesses, and preventive healthcare.
At Tend, our Nurse Prescribers work closely with doctors, Nurse Practitioners, and clinical pharmacists to provide high-quality, collaborative care. They can assess patients, diagnose common conditions, and prescribe medications when appropriate, ensuring you receive timely and effective treatment. If your condition requires specialist care or a prescription beyond their scope, they will seamlessly coordinate with other clinicians to ensure you get the best care possible.
