3	Scope of Practice for nurse practitioner positions

Under section 8, approval of nurse practitioner positions, I have approved the establishment of a Chronic Kidney Disease Nurse Practitioner position for  Ambulatory Care and Renal Services at the Canberra Hospital.  

The scope of practice for the nurse practitioner position is attached.
As this position is ‘new’, the clinical practice guidelines and medication formularies are a work in progress and may change. These will be finalised within the first three months of the position being established after they have received the endorsement of the ACT Nurse Practitioner Clinical Practice Guideline Development Standing Committee.
