Specialist practice: the transitional arrangements

Article Abstract:

Transitional arrangements in the UK nursing profession are helping nurses acquire the title of specialist practitioner by accrediting work and training they have already done. They benefit nurses who were working before the Project 2000 programmes began and will end in Oct 1998. The arrangements allow nurses to use the title of specialist practitioner if they have followed a four-month course related to their specialist practice and gained a post-registration qualification, and if their employer is satisfied they have the skills and knowledge appropriate to the role.
