Advanced Nursing Practice
This book examines the concept of advanced practice in the UK and shows how much it has developed in recent years. The advent of advanced practice, coupled with radical health service reforms has enabled senior and experienced nurses to develop and refine new clinical roles that share three key characteristics: professional maturity, the ability to challenge professional boundaries and to pioneer innovations. These characteristics form the basis of a definition of advanced nursing practice, developed by the editors, that is used, by different contributors to this book to examine the fol-lowing issues:
. The forms of clinical and professional competence, based on uni-professional and multi-professional perspectives, required at this level.
. The relationship between advanced practice and clinical governance, for example through benchmarking, and the advanced practitioner's role in facilitating best, evidence-based practice through transformational leadership coupled with a high level of interpersonal competence.
. The nature of practice in the UK's multicultural society through advanced assessment and the provision of health promotion.
. The impact of advanced practice in the wider arena of healthcare especially with regard to the interface between advanced nursing and other professions, notably medicine, and the legal implications of new levels of practice.
. The possibilities for advanced practice inherent in current and future developments.
