Developing Advanced Practice

This subject builds on the content covered in NURS90134 Introducing Advanced Practice Nursing and has been designed to help prepare students for autonomous nurse practitioner practice. This subject will place an emphasis on expanding the student’s health assessment skills to include the judicious use of diagnostic investigations, the ability to synthesise individual health data and to develop sophisticated clinical decision-making capacity. Governance structures and innovations at both an organisational and governmental level will also be explored and how these ensure that safe, quality patient care is delivered.
