NMBI, in collaboration with the HSE Office of the Nursing and Midwifery Services Director (ONMSD), is asking Registered Nurse and Midwife Prescribers to share their views regarding prescribing of Schedule 8 Controlled Drugs in Ireland.

The purpose of this survey is to gain an understanding of Registered Nurse and Midwife Prescribers’ experience regarding their authority to prescribe Schedule 8 Controlled Drugs in Ireland (Misuse of Drugs Regulations, 2017, amended 2024).

If you are a Registered Nurse or Midwife Prescriber, we would encourage you to share views and experiences. Your insight is critical and will be used to inform future policy direction and professional regulation.

The survey takes approximately 10 minutes to complete and is confidential and anonymous. To take part, scan QR code below or visit the HSE website.  

The survey closes on Friday, 27 February 2026.
