Advanced Practice (Midwifery) Standards and Requirements Public consultation opens today 29th September 2015 In accordance with the Nurses and Midwives Act (2011) NMBI commenced the process of developing Advanced Practice (Nursing) Standards and Requirements and Advanced Practice (Midwifery) Standards and Requirements in 2012. A team known as Working Group Advanced Practice (WGAP) was established to assist NMBI, with expert representation from a number of different key stakeholders. The process included an extensive review of the literature (Carney 2014), consultation through the NMBI website, a survey, and focus groups (n=8) resulting in the publication of an interim report in 2014. Advanced Practice (Nursing) Standards and Requirements and Advanced Practice (Midwifery) Standards and Requirements are based on the Interim Report (WGAP 2014). Public consultation has closed for Advanced Practice (Nursing) Standards and Requirements and we are now seeking your views on Advanced Practice (Midwifery) Standards and Requirements (draft). We are aiming to get opinions/ comments from as many professionals, managers, educators, women who access maternity services, policy makers, and others, so please feel free to forward this Link to other colleagues, groups, individuals or organisations. To complete this survey, you need to:
