Yhteyshenkilöt
People living in sparsely populated regions in Finland, Ireland and Iceland face barriers to accessing healthcare due to diminished local services, long travel times and physician shortages. Nurses in these countries have varying authority to prescribe medicines, but remote nurse prescribing remains limited despite its potential to, e.g., improve access to healthcare.
This transnational project unites partners from three NPA regions to examine how remote nurse prescribing operates and what can be shared across borders. By comparing legislation, practical experience, and service models, the project will develop and test a safe, evidence‑based model suited to NPA conditions.
The project improves access to safe remote care in NPA regions, reduces waiting times, and uses professional resources more efficiently, supporting cost savings and more sustainable healthcare delivery reducing people’s environmental footprint by saving travelling needs while ensuring timely, reliable treatment.
