Myself and Tracey Starkey-Moore (@TraceyStarkeyMo) led a @WeNurses chat on the 1st October about Advanced Practitioners. You can find the Summary on the discussion on the WeCommunities website with the relevant key word clouds.

Tracey and I then got together with Gavin Denton (@DentonGavin) and Jemma Owen (@JemmaOwen1) to discuss some of the key issues that came up on the night. I think we highlight some interesting issues in the development of Advanced Practice

RCN Guidelines on Advanced Nurse Practitioners

The role of advanced nurse practitioners.

Development of Advanced Care Practitioners in Emergency Services

The National Education and Competence Framework for Advanced Critical Care Practitioners.

Royal College of Emergency Medicine Curriculum for Emergency Care Practitioners

DoH Advanced Level Nursing- A position statement.

Nursing Times- Understanding Advanced Nursing Practice

In this episode I talked to Jennifer Cotton (@sonomojo) who runs the website Sonomojo which is a guide to ultrasound education and she talks about her reasons for setting up the site. The aim of the site is about connecting people to resources about ultrasound.

Jennifer is just about to become a doctor and has worked with colleagues such as Matt Dawson from the www.ultrasoundpodcast.com website as part of her training to become more competent at this skill.

She also promotes the Ultrasound Interest Groups (USIG) which is way of developing groups that can focus on student organised, faculty led workshops.
