On 25 May, we held a webinar on Decision-making in advanced practice for Advanced Nurse and Midwife Practitioners.
Attendees heard from our Director of Education, Policy and Standards Carolyn Donohoe, and Professional Officers Lorraine Clarke Bishop and Mary Devane.
Opening the webinar, our CEO, Sheila McClelland said that she was delighted to see so many nurses and midwives attending. She also spoke about how events like this add to our continued focus on engaging with our registrants.
Speaking about decision-making in advanced practice, Sheila emphasised the important role of registrants and health professionals at all levels, particularly at advanced practice, in delivering healthcare. She said: “Where registrants apply their disciplines in a different setting, we want to make sure that you have confidence and that you understand how you give yourself confidence to operate".
This was followed by a presentation from our Education, Policy and Standards Department, who spoke about the purpose of regulation and decision-making for advanced nurse and midwife practitioners, as set out in the Scope of Practice. It covered the integral role of the Code of Professional Conduct and Ethics in day-to-day practice, with particular emphasis on the standards and requirements for advanced practice.
We would like to thank the over 160 attendees for joining the webinar.
For those who were unable to attend, the webinar is available on our YouTube channel.
We are also happy to answer any questions you may have on advance practice. You can contact our Education, Policy and Standards Department at: EducationandGuiance@nmbi.ie.
