Nurse Private Prescriptions and Non-FP10 and CD Drugs

For England, Northern Ireland and Wales, Independent prescribers and Supplementary prescribers are able to issue private prescriptions in Vision.

Note that a nurse can make an FP10 drug into a private prescription by ticking the Private box on Therapy Add. If, however, a non-FP10 drug is selected in order to print a private prescription, then the following message is shown:

It is not possible for a practice nurse to prescribe non-NHS drugs.

If a nurse as signatory, tries to print a non-NHS drug (for example, possibly created by a GP) then the following message displays:

Nurse, Supplementary and Independent prescribers are not eligible to print discontinued or non-NHS drugs.

If you change the signatory to a GP, printing will be allowed under the GP's name.
