| Clinical Nurse Specialists |
The role of Clinical Nurse Specialist is defined by the National Council for the Professional Development of Nursing and Midwifery as: The area of speciality is a defined area of nursing or midwifery practice that requires application of specially focused knowledge and skills, which are both in demand and required to improve the quality of patient/client care. This specialist practice will encompass a major clinical focus, which comprises assessment, planning, delivery and evaluation of care given to patients/clients and their families in hospital, community and out-patient settings. The specialist nurse or midwife will work closely with medical and para-medical colleagues and may make alterations in prescribed clinica options along agreed protocol driven guidelines. The specialist nurse or midwife will participate in and disseminate nursing/midwifery research and audit and provide consultancy in education and clinical practice to nursing/midwife colleagues and the wider interdisciplinary team. A nurse or midwife specialist in clinical practice has undertaken formal recognised post-registration education relevant to his/her area of specialist practice at higher diploma level or equivalent. Such formal education is underpinned by extensive experience and clinical expertise in the relevant specialist area.
