The aim of this paper is to compare the Emergency Nurse Practitioner (ENP) role in the UK, Australia and New Zealand. Whilst geographically distant, the role of the ENP within these three countries shares fundamental similarities, causing us to question, is this a time to implement international standards for the role? The ENP role in all three countries is gradually establishing itself, yet there are shared concerns over how the role is regulated and deficits in standardisation of scope of practice and educational level. Together these issues generate confusion over what the ENP role embodies. One method of demystifying the ENP role would be to progress towards international standards for regulation, education and core components of practice.
本文旨在比较英国、澳大利亚和新西兰的急诊护士从业者(ENP)角色。尽管这三个国家地理位置相距甚远,但ENP在这三个国家的角色有着基本的相似之处,这促使我们思考,现在是否是为该角色实施国际标准的时候了?ENP在这三个国家的角色都在逐渐确立,但在该角色的监管方式、实践范围和教育水平的标准化方面存在共同担忧。这些问题加在一起,让人对ENP角色的具体内涵产生困惑。使ENP角色不再神秘的一种方法是朝着监管、教育和实践核心组成部分的国际标准迈进。
