This unit of study explores ways of expanding nursing聽practice.聽Nurses聽practising at an advanced practice level incorporate professional leadership, education, research and support of systems into their practice. Their practice includes relevant expertise, critical thinking, complex decision?making, autonomous practice and is effective and safe. They work within a generalist or specialist context and they are responsible and accountable in managing people who have complex healthcare requirements. The characteristics for expanded nursing practice are shaped by the contexts in which nurses practice including organisational needs.聽Nursing practice is聽informed聽by聽theory, evidence, experiential learning,聽legislation聽and by relevant nursing professional bodies and associations.
