Around 10 million people worldwide have Parkinson's disease and in the UK the estimated figure is 153000. The condition is characterised by motor symptoms including tremors, stiffness, slowness, balance problems and/or gait disorders, but sufferers can develop a wide range of associated psychological and physical problems. Treatment includes a combination of pharmacological and supportive physical therapies, supplied by a multidisciplinary team. As the condition progresses, medication regimens expand to include a combination of drug therapies. For those who do not benefit from pharmacological therapy deep brain stimulation surgery can be considered. Some people find that alternative therapies such as homeopathy, music and massage are useful additions to standard medical treatments. This article will give an overview of Parkinson's disease, including symptoms and diagnosis, and explore issues for consideration when prescribing common first-line Parkinson's medications.

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) has a significant impact on patients and the wider health systems. COPD should be managed holistically, and pharmacological treatment with inhaled bronchodilators (singly, in combination or with inhaled corticosteroids) should be matched to patient need. Choice of inhaler type and specific device should be based on patient need and preference, as well as economic and environmental concerns.

Antibiotic resistance is an urgent, accelerating global health threat due to inadequate infection prevention and control practices, and sub-optimal prescribing of antibiotics. Health professionals are required to practise antimicrobial stewardship to reduce incidence of antibiotic resistance, and this includes optimal prescribing behaviours. This study aimed to establish factors influencing medical prescribers' and independent nurse prescribers' antibiotic prescribing decisions, and compare the responses between practice settings. Independent nurse prescribers were invited to complete an online questionnaire with 17 antibiotic prescribing statements. Respondents rated their responses on a five-point Likert-type scale ranging from totally disagree to totally agree. A total of 115 questionnaires were completed and analysed. The results showed independent nurse prescribers' antibiotic prescribing decisions may be influenced by patient expectations, diagnostic uncertainty, challenges related to patient follow-up, time pressures and remote consultations. Unlike medical prescribers, they do not report pressure to prescribe antibiotics to maintain a good relationship with the patient. Antibiotic prescribing decisions are influenced by a wide range of factors outside of clinical indication and further research is required to explore these in detail. Independent nurse prescribers require education and training tailored to their specific needs and practice settings.
