Synopsis

This work provides practical information on initiating and implementing a nurse practitioner service in a hospital environment, from an experienced and reputable source. Nurse practitioners are a developing and expanding band of prefessionals. An autonomous practitioner who can take routine tasks and responsibilities away from the hard-pressed medical profession is being welcomed from all quarters; nurses are eager for the increased responsibility and the doctors appreciate being able to delegate certain tasks. The book advises nurses how to go about setting up a service, how to develop good working relationships with other departments and the importance of the secondary/primary care interface. It discusses the role of the nurse practitioner in specialist areas such as renal and cardiac units and how this can benefit both nurse and patient.
