An examination of senior nursing roles: challenges for the NHS.

Abstract:

:Wellhouse NHS Trust moved its inpatient services to the new Barnet General Hospital in 1997 and merged with Chase Farm Hospital NHS Trust in 1999. To assist with the trust's management of resulting changes in care provision, a short project was conducted to examine the nursing services provided by ward managers (20) and senior nurses (27), that is nurses who undertake specialist/ advanced nursing practice. The project also aimed to present the views of the stakeholders (66) with regard to nursing in the trust and nurse-led services. The project involved two stages of data collection--focus groups and postal questionnaires. The project provided a great deal of information about the nursing service within the trust: a profile of the senior nurses, roles and responsibilities, skills and competencies, training and development, and support needs for their roles. The findings considered a number of issues: (i) employment--diversity of grading for posts; (ii) work roles--conflicts in role composition; (iii) stakeholders--perspectives of stakeholders on nursing. It is anticipated that the findings are not unique to the one trust and that they will contribute to the development of new clinical career pathways for senior nurses within the trust.
