Area of Science:

  • Oncology Nursing
  • Surgical Oncology Training
  • Clinical Competence Assessment

Background:

  • Lack of established guidelines for nurse practitioner training in breast and axillary examination.
  • Need for standardized assessment methods for advanced practice nurses in surgical specialties.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To audit the clinical competence of a nurse practitioner in breast and axillary examination.
  • To evaluate a training and supervision model for advanced practice nurses in breast surgery.

Main Methods:

  • Prospective audit design.
  • 18-month clinical training and supervision by consultant breast surgeons.
  • Competence assessment through concordance analysis with expert findings.

Main Results:
