Advanced practice in the US: Part one: the paediatric nurse practitioner

Katie Barnes Lecturer, Child Health/Certified Paediatric Nurse Practitioner, University College Suffolk
Debra Sharu Lecturer/Nurse Practitioner, Royal College of Nursing Institute

As the concept of advanced practice develops in the United Kingdom, Katie Barnes and Debra Sharu present the first of a two-part series which draws parallels with developments in North America

This two-part series on paediatric advanced nursing practice is an attempt to familiarise paediatric nurses in the UK with the role of the paediatric nurse practitioner (PNP) in America.
