Specialist Nursing
• My perspective…….. (key issues)• To work in a specialist role there should be overall
groundedness and roundedness• It requires all the qualities of a nurse: Especially:
• The 6Cs
• A focus on the patient as central
• Accountability • Leading and leadership –
• Role model to others• Developing your role and developing your self• Championing the profession as an incredible career
