2 Outline What is prescribing? What is dispensing? Enabling legal frameworks Policy/law Medicines and Related Substances Act, as amended (and not) New Nursing Act, old Regulations Challenges Overly restrictive interpretations New urgencies, but not everywhere Forum for Professional Nurse Leaders

3 National Drug Policy, 1996 Prescribing of drugs above schedule 2 by pharmacists, except as provided in the regulations of the Medicines and Related Substances Control Act (101 of 1965), will not be permitted. Similarly, prescribing by nurses will only be in accordance with the provisions of Act 101 of The objective is to ensure that all health personnel involved in diagnosis, prescribing and dispensing of drugs receive adequate theoretical and practical training. At primary level prescribing will be competency, not occupation, based. Only practitioners who are registered with the relevant Council and premises that are registered and/or licensed in terms of the Medicines and Related Substances Control Act (No 101 of 1965) may be used for the manufacture, supply and dispensing of drugs. Forum for Professional Nurse Leaders

4 NDP (1996), contd Medical practitioners and nurses will not be permitted to dispense drugs, except where separate pharmaceutical services are not available. In such instances/situations where dispensing by doctors and nurses has to take place, such persons will be in possession of a dispensing licence issued by the Medicine Control Council. Criteria for the granting of such licences will include inter alia, the application of geographical limits. Special concessions will be granted with regard to certain categories of providers such as occupational health services. Proven competency of such persons to dispense drugs will be by virtue of the successful completion of a suitable training programme. All licences will be reviewed and renewed annually. These inspection functions will be delegated to the provinces. Forum for Professional Nurse Leaders

5 What is prescribing? Section 22A(5) of the Medicines and Related Substances Act (Act 101 of 1965): Any Schedule 2, Schedule 3, Schedule 4, Schedule 5 or Schedule 6 substance shall not be sold by any person other thana) a pharmacist, pharmacist intern or a pharmacist's assistant acting under the personal supervision of a pharmacist, who may sell only Schedule 2 substances without a prescription; b) a pharmacist or a pharmacist intern or pharmacist's assistant acting under the personal supervision of a pharmacist, upon a written prescription issued by an authorised prescriber or on the verbal instructions of an authorised prescriber who is known to such pharmacist; c) a manufacturer of or wholesale dealer in pharmaceutical products for sale to any person who may lawfully possess such substance; d) a medical practitioner or dentist, who mayi. prescribe such substance; ii. compound or dispense such substance only if he or she is the holder of a licence as contemplated in section 22C (1) (a); e) a veterinarian who may prescribe, compound or dispense such substance; f) a practitioner, a nurse or a person registered under the Health Professions Act, 1974, other than a medical practitioner or dentist, who mayi. prescribe only the Scheduled substances identified in the Schedule for that purpose; ii. compound and dispense the Scheduled substances referred to in subparagraph (i) only if he or she is the holder of a licence contemplated in section 22C (1) (a). Forum for Professional Nurse Leaders

6 A key definition s22a(17) For the purposes of this section- (a) 'authorised prescriber' means a medical practitioner, dentist, veterinarian, practitioner, nurse or other person registered under the Health Professions Act, 1974; Forum for Professional Nurse Leaders

7 Are all nurses authorised prescribers? s22a(14) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this sectiona) b) no nurse or a person registered under the Health Professions Act, 1974, other than a medical practitioner or dentist, may prescribe a medicine or Scheduled substance unless he or she has been authorised to do so by his or her professional Council concerned. Forum for Professional Nurse Leaders

8 But, also a back door s22a(15) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this section, the Director-General may, after consultation with the Interim Pharmacy Council of South Africa as referred to in section 2 of the Pharmacy Act, 1974 (Act 53 of 1974), issue a permit to any person or organisation performing a health service, authorising such person or organisation to acquire, possess, use or supply any specified Schedule 1, Schedule 2, Schedule 3, Schedule 4 or Schedule 5 substance, and such permit shall be subject to such conditions as the Director- General may determine.

18 And a retro-fit of s38a (6) Despite the provisions of this Act, the said Medicines and Related Substances Act, 1965, the Pharmacy Act, 1974 (Act No. 53 of 1974), and the Health Professions Act, 1974 (Act No. 56 of 1974), a nurse who is in the service of- (a) the national department; (b) a provincial department of health; (c) a municipality; or (d) an organisation performing any health service designated by the Director- General after consultation with the South African Pharmacy Council referred to in section 2 of the Pharmacy Act, 1974, and who has been authorised by the Director-General, the head of such provincial department of health, the medical officer of health of such municipality or the medical practitioner in charge of such organisation, as the case may be, may in the course of such service perform with reference to- (i) the physical examination of any person; (ii) the diagnosing of any physical defect, illness or deficiency in any person; or (iii) the keeping of prescribed medicines and their supply, administering or prescribing on the prescribed conditions; any act which the said Director-General, head of provincial department of health, medical officer of health or medical practitioner, as the case may be, may, after consultation with the Council, determine in general or in a particular case or in cases of a particular nature, if the services of a medical practitioner or pharmacist, as the circumstances may require, are not available.

23 What does dispensing involve? R1158, Regulations issued in terms of the Pharmacy Act (Act 53 of 1974), issued in 2000 dispensing means the (1)interpretation and evaluation of a prescription, the selection, (2)manipulation or compounding of the medicine, the (3)labelling and supply of the medicine in an appropriate container according to the Medicines Act and the provision of (4)information and instructions by a pharmacist to ensure the safe and effective use of medicine by the patient The same applies to a person licensed to dispense (s22c(1)(a) of Act 101 of 1965) Forum for Professional Nurse Leaders

24 R510 Regulations to the Medicines Act, issued in 2003 "dispense"- a) in the case of a pharmacist, means dispense as defined in the Regulations Relating to the Practice of Pharmacy made in terms of the Pharmacy Act, 1974; and b) in the case of a medical practitioner, dentist, practitioner, nurse or any authorised prescriber to dispense medicines, means i. the interpretation and evaluation of a prescription; ii. the selection, reconstitution, dilution, labelling, recording and supply of the medicine in an appropriate container; or iii. the provision of information and instructions to ensure safe and effective use of a medicine by a patient; Forum for Professional Nurse Leaders

25 What is administering? R510, Regulations issued in terms of Act 101 of 1965:. For the purposes of this regulation, "compounding and dispensing" does not refer to a medicine requiring preparation for a once-off administration to a patient during a consultation. Forum for Professional Nurse Leaders

26 But, what about supplying Included in the definition of dispense in the General Regulations to the Medicines Act (R510) Forum for Professional Nurse Leaders

28 Demonstration of need removed General Regulation 18 Location Motivation Existence of other facilities Patients to be served, disease patterns, special needs Representations from interested parties Requirements Diagnose, prescribe and dispense for patients, under full good pharmacy practice conditions Forum for Professional Nurse Leaders

29 Conditions of the licence (7) A person referred to in subregulation (1) who has been issued with a licence shall: (a) keep sales records either in hard copy or electronically relating to medicines compounded and dispensed for a period of 5 years from the date of sale; (b) ensure that the dispensary and any premises where medicines are kept are suitable for dispensing or compounding and dispensing in accordance with good pharmacy practice; (c) keep the medicines under the manufacturer's recommended storage conditions as specified on the medicines label and/or package insert; (d) not pre-pack medicines at the premises unless authorised to do so by the Director-General and in terms of regulation 33(a)(ii); (e) label medicines properly with the name of the patient and a reference number linking the patient to a patient record; Forum for Professional Nurse Leaders

Forum for Professional Nurse Leaders

31 Demanding standards the final stage in a long process of legislative reform a set of enforceable standards, not aspirational statements Forum for Professional Nurse Leaders

32 The New Nursing Act enabling new categories of nurses 31. (1) Subject to the provisions of section 37, no person may practise as a practitioner unless he or she is registered to practise in at least one of the following categories: (a) Professional nurse; (b) Midwife; (c) Staff nurse; (d) Auxiliary nurse; or (e) Auxiliary midwife. (2) The Minister, after consultation with the Council, may by notice in the Gazette make such other categories of persons to be registered to practise nursing as he or she considers necessary in the public interest. Forum for Professional Nurse Leaders

33 Approach of the NDOH Forum for Professional Nurse Leaders

34 Challenges Applying s56(6) without new Regulations (thus limiting to S4, not S5 or S6) Certainty about the new categories of nurses implied in s56(1-5) How many? What qualifications? Only then can an application be made to the MCC for listing of medicines in the Schedules Forum for Professional Nurse Leaders

35 Evidence of progress - slowly Only the Primary Care Nurse Specialist competency standard mentions prescribing.but, as yet no approach has been made to the MCC regarding the list of medicines to be prescribed BN

36 The burning question Can a pharmacist (or pharmacist s assistant) dispense a prescription written by a nurse holding a section 56(6) permit? Is s/he an authorised prescriber, as envisaged in s22a(14) and (17)? If not, what does Despite the provisions of this Act, the said Medicines and Related Substances Act, 1965, the Pharmacy Act, 1974 (Act No. 53 of 1974), and the Health Professions Act, 1974 (Act No. 56 of 1974) mean? Forum for Professional Nurse Leaders

37 Forum for Professional Nurse Leaders

38 Who can dispense? We confirm that ART medicines are Schedule 4 and therefore in terms of Section 22A of the Medicines and Related Substances Act, 101 of 1965 may only be dispensed by a pharmacist on a valid prescription by a medical practitioner or an authorized prescriber. We confirm that currently the South African Pharmacy Council is unaware of any nurses being identified/licensed as authorized prescribers in terms of the nurse initiated ART role out. We further confirm that nurses who are registered in terms of Section 33A (old Nursing Act) / Section 56 (new Nursing Act) are permitted to dispense medicines they have prescribed, i.e. nurse initiated treatment in terms of prescribed regulations. However, it was and will at this stage continue to be the status quo that pharmacists can not dispense nurse initiated treatments unless such prescription has been authorized by a medical practitioner. In conclusion we confirm that nurses (issued with a S38A/S56 registration) may dispense medicines on their own initiated treatments, and a pharmacist may only dispense on a valid prescription from an authorized prescriber.

41 How long must we wait? For: 1. A clear set of competencies, with associated qualifications and accredited providers, for a full range of prescribing nurse practitioners. 2. A relatively minor amendment to section 56 (getting rid of 56(1)(c) and (3)). 3. Listing of the medicines for each category of prescribing nurse practitioner in the Schedules.
