I had used only "practice" (in BrE) for both the noun and the verb until joining this forum. I genuinely believed that "practise" was used only in AmE and even then I didn't know if it was used as the verb or the noun. The wonderful Piscean put me straight! My method for remembering it now is that I picture the sign outside my doctor's surgery, which says "[name] Medical Practice". Obviously that's a noun so once I've pictured that, I know which one is which and apply the correct ending to whatever I'm writing. I'll be honest - it's still not automatic. Clearly I need more practice. Or I need to practise more. ;-)
