Today Nursing & Midwifery launched our new Professional Practice Framework. The Framework has been developed after extensive consultation with our nurses and midwives, and is structured around the five domains of practice:
- leadership,
- research,
- evidence-based practice,
- education, and
- clinical expertise.
These domains are surrounded by the Best Care domains and are informed by our Values – which all together enable us to deliver Best Care to the community.
The Framework is for you, and all about you and your successful and enriching career at Western Health. It includes an achievement model of skill acquisition, to support career planning and progression and outlines the support and opportunities available to assist both the development of individuals and teams. It also offers career pathway guidance for those wishing to advance and provides consistent professional advice, assists workforce planning, and will be an invaluable resource for our staff and the wider Western Health team.
The Framework will inform important enabling documents, including our position descriptions and performance and development plans. encourage you to review the document once it has been formally released.
More information and resources can be found on the Professional Practice Framework page.
