In an effort to cope with the changing health care environment, University Hospital, London, Canada provided the opportunity for two nurses to develop expanded nursing roles in general internal medicine. Direct care functions centre on the expert practitioner role. Whereas, indirect care functions include educator, consultant/resource person and researcher. Although the expanded roles are in the beginning stages of development, these nurses have articulated their activities and responsibilities as expanded role nurses in the medicine service.
为了应对不断变化的医疗环境，加拿大伦敦大学医院为两名护士提供了在普通内科拓展护理角色的机会。直接护理职能以专家从业者角色为核心。而间接护理职能包括教育者、顾问/资源提供者和研究者。尽管这些拓展角色尚处于发展初期，但这些护士已明确阐述了她们作为内科服务中拓展角色护士的活动和职责。
