| Description: | It is ten years since the Commission on Nursing recommended in 1998 the development of a clinical career
pathway for nurses and midwives in Ireland. The National Council for the Professional Development of Nursing
and Midwifery established the first Irish frameworks for role development for clinical nurse and midwife
specialists (CNS/CMSs) and advanced nurse and midwife practitioners (ANP/AMPs) in 2001. Almost two
thousand clinical nurse and midwife specialist and over one hundred advanced nurse and midwife practitioner
posts have been developed to date. These posts have been developed in line with service needs and in the
interest of quality, integrated patient/client care. A multi disciplinary approach to role development based on
service needs analysis was utilised. These roles have received strong medical, multi disciplinary and
management support which has been essential in their successful development and implementation.
Experienced, highly qualified nurses and midwives now have the opportunity to remain in clinical practice
providing expert care within a clinical career pathway. This means that nursing and midwifery skills and
competencies are being used appropriately within the health care system to provide high quality, patient
focused care. |
