answer text <p>NHS Digital currently collects data on select indicators for safer prescribing, with the first phase focused on admissions related to gastrointestinal bleeding and acute kidney injury. These indicators link hospital admission to prescription data, and identify the population at risk of harm at a national, regional, or clinical commissioning group level for each given indicator. Data may be used by local teams to alter prescribing practice to lower the risk associated with prescriptions where appropriate.</p><p> </p><p>Data are available publicly through the Medicine Safety Dashboard at the following link:</p><p> </p><p><a href="https://apps.nhsbsa.nhs.uk/MOD/MedicationSafety/atlas.html" target="_blank">https://apps.nhsbsa.nhs.uk/MOD/MedicationSafety/atlas.html</a></p> more like this

date of answer less than 2018-11-12more like thismore than 2018-11-12
answer text <p>Any change to the expiry date of a medicine requires an independent review of the stability study by the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) or the European Medicine Agency in consultation with the MHRA. The MHRA is the Government agency responsible for ensuring that medicines and medical devices work and are acceptably safe.</p><p> </p><p>Companies can and often do extend the shelf life of their medicines once the product is on the market and additional stability data become available. The MHRA is not able to insist on lengthy shelf lives considering the time needed to complete stability studies as to do so would create additional delays with bringing new medicines to the market. It is not possible however to extend the expiry date of all medicines unilaterally in the absence of supporting stability data.</p> more like this

answer text <p>In 2017, Professor Jane Cummings, the Chief Nursing Officer for England announced a career development programme was being developed for General Practice Nurses (GPNs). This programme took the form of an ‘action plan’ to recognise and develop the GPN role in transforming care and helping to deliver the National Health Service plan. The plan was published in 2017 and entitled The GPN 10 Point Plan. The GPN 10 Point plan uses an investment of £15 million from the GP Forward View funding allocation to support actions which will address the significant workforce challenges and support improvements in general practice nursing by 2020.</p><p> </p><p>Getting the skills mix right in general practice is critical in addressing workload pressures as well as in delivering appropriate patient care. This will mean bigger teams of staff, including nurse practitioners providing a wider range of care options for patients and freeing up more time for general practitioners to focus on those with more complex needs.</p>
