In the current climate of staff shortage, scarce resources and increasing demand for service nurses are continually challenged to review and revise practice to ensure best practice in the specific local context. The NSW Models of Care Project identified numerous examples of how nurses have modelled creative adaptive innovation that has impacted significantly on patients and staff. Many of these initiatives remain unacknowledged and unavailable for adoption beyond their geographical and clinical contexts.
The aim of this edition is
q to share and celebrate this work, also inviting contributions from a wider nursing community both internationally and from other regions in Australia.
q to provide a forum to bring together various perspectives about the issues, challenges and directions that impact on nurses and their ability to lead practice change from a ward or unit based, patient oriented perspective.
q encourage and support novice writers.
Modelling of care work is characterised by a problem solving approach to practice change or service re-design in a localised context. This work can be achieved via research, practice development, education and quality projects. We welcome papers drawing on all of these approaches.
Contributions are from nurses and midwives in all clinical specialities and across all health care contexts from nurse managers, educators and academics in partnership with clinicians.
