The intricacies of this disease are often above the depth of knowledge a GP would have, because they are generalists. Therefore they will treat symptoms andin my experience, are welcoming to any offers of help and support from specialist nurses.
Supplementary prescribing enables a clinical management plan to be drawn up with the independent prescriber. This may well involve the hospital consultant, GP as well asspecialist nurse (supplementary prescriber) and the patient. This to me, is no more or less a care plan so all parties would know exactly what everyone is doing and what is expected of the progressions of the disease for theindividual patient.
For the supplementary prescriber, this enables them to tailor-make changes to medications in the laid down boundary, whether medicines or dosages, as the patient'scondition alters. For the patient, it means medications can be adjusted as their conditionchanges to ensure medicines are given appropriately.
Unfortunately, clinical medicines plans in my view have been given a bad press after being seen as a bureaucratic process. All they are is a communication aid. Surely clear As referred to in

continued over the page Prescribing Information can be found on page 6 Sponsored by Orion Pharma continued from front page Often relationships with the patient and specialist nurse are extremely good - making them the first point of contact from the patient should any changes occur in the condition. It would be hoped that the nurse would be able to respond swiftly to the patient, therefore ensuring the patient has speedier access to medicines. There remains a major difficulty in relation to funding - how do specialist nurses access prescribing budgets? As we move more into commissioning and provision it is essential that all nurses, and in particular specialist nurses, produce robust service plans asto the benefits of their service. This needs to include the impact of saving medical time and the unnecessary admission to hospital for some of the patients. By being able to prescribe, this enhances the above and I am sure there are more benefits that would be part of the service plan.
Many nurses who I meet who are now prescribers, cannot believe the difference it has made to their practice, how much it has improved care to their patients and credibility with medical colleagues.
I consider Specialist Parkinson's Nurses need to undertake the prescribing training to enhance the service they give to their patients so you are able to give a comprehensive service.

Primary Care – We Need

GREG ROGERS, a GP in East Kent, describes a model of care

Parkinson's disease and end-of-dose motor fluctuations not stabilised on levodopa/dopa decarboxylase (DDC) inhibitor treatment. Dosage and administration:
Orally with or without food. One tablet contains one treatment dose and may only be administered as whole tablets. Optimum daily dosage must be determined by
careful titration of levodopa in each patient preferably using one of the three tablet strengths. Patients receiving less than 70-100 mg carbidopa a day are more likely
to experience nausea and vomiting. The maximum Stalevo dose is 10 tablets per day. Usually Stalevo is to be used in patients who are currently treated with
corresponding doses of standard release levodopa/DDC inhibitor and entacapone. See SPC for details of how to transfer these patients and those not currently
treated with entacapone. Children and adolescents: Not recommended. Elderly: No dosage adjustment required. Mild to moderate hepatic impairment, severe renal
impairment (including dialysis): Caution advised. Contraindications: Hypersensitivity to active substances or excipients. Severe hepatic impairment. Narrow-angle
glaucoma. Pheochromocytoma. Concomitant use of non-selective monoamine oxidase inhibitors (e.g. phenelzine, tranylcypromine). Concomitant use of a selective
MAO-A inhibitor and a selective MAO-B inhibitor. Previous history of Neuroleptic Malignant Syndrome (NMS) and/or non-traumatic rhabdomyolysis. Warnings and
precautions:
Not recommended for treatment of drug-induced extrapyramidal reactions. Administer with caution to: patients with severe cardiovascular or
pulmonary disease, bronchial asthma, renal, hepatic or endocrine disease, or history of peptic ulcer disease or of convulsions, or past or current psychosis; patients
receiving concomitant antipsychotics with dopamine receptor-blocking properties, particularly D2 receptor antagonists; patients receiving other medicinal products
which may cause orthostatic hypotension. In patients with a history of myocardial infarction who have residual atrial nodal, or ventricular arrhythmias, monitor cardiac
function carefully during initial dosage adjustments. Monitor all patients for the development of mental changes, depression with suicidal tendencies, and other
serious antisocial behaviour. Patients with chronic wide-angle glaucoma may be treated with Stalevo with caution, provided the intra-ocular pressure is well
controlled and the patient is monitored carefully. Caution when driving or operating machines. Doses of other antiparkinsonian treatments may need to be adjusted
when Stalevo is substituted for a patient currently not treated with entacapone. Rhabdomyolysis secondary to severe dyskinesias or NMS has been observed rarely
in patients with Parkinson's disease. Therefore, any abrupt dosage reduction or withdrawal of levodopa should be carefully observed, particularly in patients who
are also receiving neuroleptics. Periodic evaluation of hepatic, haematopoietic, cardiovascular and renal function is recommended during extended therapy. Monitor
