This post requires a RANP / cANP (IBD) with a specific scope of practice for Crohn’s disease, Ulcerative colitis and overlap care across adult age groups (age 16 and upwards).   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 for Registration as an Advanced Nurse Practitioner 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 scope of the cANP role must reflect the incremental development of expertise and as such, the cANP cannot deliver care as an autonomous practitioner.   The individual will complete and submit the necessary documentation for registration as an RANP with NMBI.   The value of the nursing contribution as a distinct profession must be safeguarded and articulated in the development of new services led by advanced nurse practitioners, complementing rather than replacing current services delivered by doctors (NMBI 2017 p.9).   The overall purpose of the post is to provide safe, timely, evidenced based nurse-led care to patients at an advanced nursing level. This involves undertaking and documenting a complete episode of patient care (assess, diagnose, plan, treat and discharge patients) according to collaboratively agreed protocols and scope of practice in the clinical setting; demonstrating advanced clinical and theoretical knowledge, critical thinking, clinical leadership and decision making skills.   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.   The RANP / cANP (IBD) has a role in the ongoing development of the service within CMH (age 16 and upwards).   Once the cANP (IBD) meets the registration requirements of cANP (IBD) following completion and submission of the necessary documentation with NMBI, the cANP (IBD will) complement and contribute to the overall service.   The specific contribution of the RANP / cANP (IBD) is to improve outcomes for patients who fall within the RANP / cANP scope of practice and improve access to timely, quality healthcare for patients with IBD disease.   The inclusion criteria for the RANP / cANP (Inflammatory Bowel Disease) are as follows:  - Patients over the age of 16 years with a confirmed diagnosis of IBD who have been referred to Adult services in Cavan Monaghan Hospital. - All IBD patients who require an assessment or a review assessment.  *The caseload and scope of practice for the registered advanced nurse practitioner services will evolve to reflect changing service needs.   The exclusion criteria for the RANP / cANP (Inflammatory Bowel Disease) are as follows:  - Patients under the age of 16 years - Patients who do not have a confirmed diagnosis IBD  Specific requirements to support the development of a RANP / cANP IBD service.  - Clinical assessment including health history, interpretation of signs and symptoms, interpretation of diagnostic tests, physical examination, differential diagnosis and diagnosis according to the outcomes of the assessment. - Knowledge of pharmacological and non-pharmacological therapies. - Knowledge of psychosocial interventions. - Care for patients across a range of care settings requiring communicating/collaborating with relevant key stakeholders. - Knowledge of quality improvement processes and principles. - Knowledge of health promotion principles of Registered Nurse Prescriber. - Involvement with Academic Third Level institutions regarding education, research, future IBD care developments etc. - Involvement in multidisciplinary education. - Conduct Research in clinical setting and conduct Audits on all aspects of the service including experience of service users and health care professionals. - Involvement with Academic Third Level institutions regarding education, research, future IBD care developments etc. - Registered Ionising Radiation Prescriber.
