Role Overview
A Clinical Nurse Specialist (CNS) is a registered nurse with relevant experience and post-registration education for working at an enhanced level within a specific area of practice. They assess, manage, deliver care, advise on, and support patients.
CNSs have the autonomy to act and accept responsibility and accountability for their actions, acting as a skilled advisor for patients, or a resource for others.
CNSs perform specialist holistic assessment and treatment using a personalised approach. This is characterised by a level of decision making based on detailed knowledge and understanding of their area of practice.
As part of the multidisciplinary team CNSs can work in or across many settings, depending on their area of expertise and scope of practice.
Key Responsibilities
- To work as autonomous practitioners providing specialist nursing advice, care, and support, facilitating high quality, individualised care to patients and those important to them.
- To provide support to inpatients and outpatients in collaboration with the multi-disciplinary team and in line with local and national targets and initiatives.
- To promote a culture that delivers patient centred care throughout the pathway, contributing to improved patient experience.
- To act as a professional role model, providing expert direct and indirect clinical care, teaching, research, and leadership. They require knowledge, skills, and behaviours across all four pillars of advancing practice.
