Purpose of the Role
Respiratory services at CHI provide primary, secondary and tertiary services for children. The overall purpose of the development of an ANP (Children’s Respiratory) role is to provide expert nursing care designed to maximise patient care and improve the safety, quality and timeliness of respiratory management provided to patients at CHI at Temple Street and Crumlin. The ANP will support respiratory patients and their families through the development of inpatient and outpatient services such as ANP nurse led clinics, seamless transition to adult service, development of virtual clinics which will support healthcare workers in the community and regional centres.
The respiratory ANP will be required to review patients with complex respiratory conditions. Some of the respiratory conditions may include Asthma, obstructive sleep apnoea, allergic rhinitis, acute and chronic respiratory failure and patients on continuous positive airway pressure, and Non-invasive ventilation. The ANP will be skilled in the interpretation of relevant radiological imaging, diagnostic investigations such as pulmonary function testing, sleep diagnostics and allergy testing. The inclusion and exclusion criteria may evolve to meet the service need.
The purpose of the candidacy is to develop the job description and supporting documentation under the direction of the Health Care Provider’s Advanced Practice Stakeholder Governance Group, to enable the individual nurse to meet the NMBI criteria to register as a Registered Advanced Nurse Practitioner (RANP) as set out in Advanced Practice (Nursing) Standards and Requirements (NMBI, 2017).
The individual will undertake the academic preparation and develop the clinical and leadership skills, competencies and knowledge required to meet the criteria to be registered as a RANP with NMBI. The scope of the cANP role must reflect the incremental development of expertise and as such, the cANP cannotdeliver care as an autonomous practitioner.
The individual will complete and submit the necessary documentation for registration as an RANP with NMBI.
The value of the nursing contribution as a distinct profession must be safeguarded and articulated in the development of new services led by advanced nurse practitioners, complementing rather than replacing current services delivered by doctors (NMBI 2017 p.9).
The overall purpose of the post is to provide safe, timely, evidence based nurse-led care to patients at an advanced nursing level. This involves undertaking and documenting a complete episode of patient care (assess, diagnose, plan, treat and discharge patients).
* Articulating safe boundaries and engaging in timely referral and collaboration for those areas outside his/her scope of practice, experience, and competence by establishing, in collaboration with key stakeholders, referral pathways and locally agreed policies, procedures, protocols and guidelines to support and guide the ANP service
* Demonstrating leadership by practicing compassionately to facilitate, optimise, promote and support the health, comfort, quality of life and wellbeing of persons whose lives are affected by altered health, chronic disorders, disability, distress or life-limiting conditions
* Selecting a professional practice model that provides him/her latitude to control his/her own practice, focusing on person centred care, interpersonal interactions and the promotion of healing environments The chosen professional practice model for nursing will emphasise a caring therapeutic relationship between the cANP/RANP in Respiratory and his/her patients, recognizing that cANP/RANPs work in partnership with their multidisciplinary colleagues (Slatyer et al, 2016)).
* Articulating and promoting the advanced practice nursing service in clinical, political and professional contexts, for example presenting key performance outcomes locally and nationally; contributing to the service’s annual report; participating in local and national committees to ensure best practice as per the relevant national clinical and integrated care programme}.
