APN Study information:
Professor Glenn Gardner (Queensland University of Technology) and Professor Christine Duffield (University of Technology, Sydney) have been funded by the Australian Nursing and Midwifery Federation (ANMF) to conduct a study to define the practice parameters of advanced practice nursing (APN); the research will be examining both the nursing and midwifery disciplines. They will be conducting a survey of all Australian registered nurses and midwives currently employed in a clinical service environment. The study aim is to discover and define the activities and level of nursing and midwifery practice in different positions, titles and grades nationally. Ethics approval has been obtained from both participating universities [Queensland University of Technology Ethics approval no.1300000748].
This survey is essential to understand the definition/meaning of advanced practice for the professions of Nursing and Midwifery in Australia and for the health industry to understand the service capability of different levels of practice. It also has implications for nursing and midwifery clinicians when considering postgraduate education options and their career planning.
To ensure that every nurse and midwife who is working in a clinical service environment in Australia has the opportunity to participate in this defining research, we are seeking your support to post the attached recruitment flyer via website/eNews/journal publication during period 19/2/14 to 6/4/14.
