The Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC), the professional body for U.K. registered nurses, midwives and nursing associates has recently proposed future nurses should be 'prescriber ready', in a move to ensure the nursing workforce can prescribe medicines soon after registration (NMC, 2018a). Considering this, the educational preparation requirements for future nurses requires consideration, particularly where it is incumbent on the University, or NMC Approved Educational Institution (AEI), to prepare nurses with sufficient knowledge and skills to enter an NMC approved non-medical prescribing programme from the point of registration. This paper explores the new NMC educational and practice standards for nurses and the potential infrastructures required of the AEI where there is a responsibility under the NMC to develop a new, more progressive generation of 'prescriber ready' nurse. Excitingly, Universities and nurse educators are now tasked with ensuring future nurses can safely demonstrate an amalgam of nursing care, fusing traditional nursing expertise with skills which once remained the exclusive responsibility of the doctor, thus creating a new generation of hybrid practitioners.
英国护士和助产学理事会（NMC）是英国注册护士、助产士和护理助理的专业机构，该理事会最近提议未来的护士应该具备“准备开处方”的能力，以确保护理人员在注册后能够尽快开处方（NMC，2018a）。考虑到这一点，未来护士的教育准备要求需要考虑，特别是在大学或 NMC 认可的教育机构（AEI）有责任从注册之日起为护士提供足够的知识和技能，以便进入 NMC 认可的非医疗处方计划的情况下。本文探讨了 NMC 对护士的新教育和实践标准，以及在 NMC 有责任培养新一代“准备开处方”护士的情况下，AEI 需要具备的潜在基础设施。令人兴奋的是，大学和护士教育工作者现在的任务是确保未来的护士能够安全地展示护理服务的融合，将传统的护理专业知识与曾经属于医生的专有技能融合在一起，从而创造新一代的混合从业者。
