PP: 157 - 160
Abstract
The Australian Nursing and Midwifery Council (ANMC) is the peak national organisation established in the early nineties to bring a national approach to the regulatory framework for the profession of nursing and the profession of midwifery. The ANMC leads, and is responsible for supporting and establishing credible research initiatives and projects to provide the evidence required to inform this agenda.
In accordance with the strategic direction of ANMC to establish a national approach to the regulation of the nursing profession and the midwifery profession, it is both essential and timely to consider the regulatory requirements and the professional benefits of undertaking a project to develop National Guidelines on Boundaries of Professional Practice for Nurses and Midwives.
