Advanced Practice in Nursing and the Allied Health
Professions enables nurses and members of allied health
professions to effectively diagnose and treat patients, in a wide
variety of settings. It is especially relevant in regions where
access to other health providers is limited.
This new, completely revised, third edition shows how advanced
practice continues to develop in response to the impact of health
service reforms, the introduction of health policies aimed at
developing a patient-led service based in primary care and changes
in working conditions. Advanced Practice in Nursing and the
Allied Health Professions presents an examination of the
potential for advanced practitioners, at all levels, to have a
significant effect on the health of the population and provide
holistic care for the sick. Practice is identified as the central
and most important feature of the advanced role in nursing and
allied health professions.
Advanced Practice in Nursing and the Allied Health
Professions also considers:
* The development of advanced practice in nursing and the allied
health professions and the implications for future health and
social care services;
* Challenging professional boundaries that hinder the provision

current and future advanced roles;
* International developments in advanced practice;
* Leadership, management in relation to advanced roles;
