There has been a rapid increase in the number of so-called new roles in nursing. These have tended to develop in a random way. Consequently, titles are not a good indicator of what the role entails. The qualifications required to undertake a particular role are not clear and tend to be locally defined. This paper discusses the implications of this situation. Two subsequent articles will examine issues around patient consent, care provided by nurses in new roles and legality and accountability.
The development of new nursing roles is set to continue. Patients may not always be aware that the person giving them care is a nurse. This paper explores some of the issues of ethics, equity and consent as nursing becomes involved in more invasive and independent areas of practice.
The accountability of health care professionals is determined by what can reasonably be expected from an appropriately qualified practitioner. The recent proliferation of new roles raises the issue of what can be expected from postholders when their practice is questioned. This paper discusses the legal implications of roles that blur the boundaries between established professional groups.
