The Rural Emergency Nurse Practitioner Model of Care (PDF 280KB) provides a contemporary and adaptable approach to progressing nurse practitioner models of care in the South Australian rural emergency care context.
It draws upon well-established emergency nurse practitioner models of care and has been shaped to address identified areas of rural workforce and service demand. Importantly it provides an enabling framework, one which leverages key elements of inspired leadership, adaptable and sustainable service delivery models, flexible education pathways, effective translation of contemporary evidence and established processes to enable and support rural system capacity and responsiveness.
