| Description: | The National Council for the Professional Development of
Nursing and Midwifery (the National Council) was established
in 1999 (SI No 376) following the recommendations of the
Commission on Nursing. Its primary purpose is to lead and
promote the professional development of nurses and midwives
and in particular to develop and evaluate clinical career
pathways for nurses and midwives. Standards and frameworks
developed and implemented by the National Council ensures
that nursing and midwifery practice in Ireland develops in a
safe and co-ordinated manner in the interests of patient/client
care and in line with international best practice.
As a result of its work there exists within the health services
today over 2,000 Clinical Nurse Specialist/ Clinical Midwife
Specialist and 120 Advanced Nurse Practitioner / Advanced
Midwife Practitioner posts. This surpasses international
benchmarks in the development and implementation of
specialist and advanced practice.
Thousands of nurses and midwives have benefited directly and
indirectly every year in additional continuing education
activities promoted and funded by the National Council –
over 50,000 since its foundation.
The capacity for research generation and utilisation within
nursing and midwifery has been promoted and strengthened
through the work of a joint appointment with the Health
Research Board. |
