Gould, Jill; Bain, Heather

Abstract

This is the second of two articles exploring the core professional, legal and ethical dimensions of prescribing. Part one presented a contemporary prescribing model, RAPID-CASE, devised by the authors to demonstrate the application of key professional principles to prescribing practice. This second article examines pertinent legislation and underpinning ethical principles that guide decision-making in prescribing.
