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 main purpose of the post 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 advanced practice role demonstrates a high degree of knowledge, skill and experience that is applied within the nurse-patient/client relationship to achieve optimal outcomes through critical analysis, problem solving and accurate decision-making (NMBI, 2017). Central to this is the provision of quality care, a safe environment and processes for patients by the use of evidence based clinical guidelines that address patient expectations, promote wellness and evaluate care given. The role will provide clinical leadership and professional scholarship in order to develop nursing practice and health policy at local, regional and national level. The role will contribute to nursing research to shape and advance nursing practice, education and health care policy at local, national and international levels.
