Metaspecialty and Standards Information
This research-based toolkit is one of the deliverables arising from a six-year research program exploring Australian nurse practitioner clinical learning, educational governance and capability, known as the CLinical LEarning, goVERnance and capability study (Gardner A et al, 2014; Gardner A et al, 2016; Helms et al, 2017). The program was completed by a team of Australian nurse academics and clinicians in close collaboration with the Australian College of Nurse Practitioners.

The Emergency Nurse Practitioner Clinical Practice Standards
Dr Jane O’Connell PhD RN NP FFACNP
These standards were developed from research conducted nationally in Australia from late 2012 to early 2014.
The aims of the research were:
- To develop knowledge on the parameters of practice of the emergency nurse practitioner
- To develop and validate national specialty practice standards for emergency nurse practitioners
- To contribute new knowledge on design and development of standards for advanced practice based on a ‘capability’ framework
The research was designed to investigate the parameters of practice and practice profile of Emergency Nurse Practitioners (ENPs) to develop specialty clinical practice standards.
The findings will also facilitate standardised operational definitions for ongoing research and ENP role development
