Job Planning Guidance Toolkit for Clinical Nurse Specialist Roles

This job planning toolkit has been developed by the Public Health Agency (PHA) in partnership with the Northern Ireland Practice and Education Council for Nursing and Midwifery (NIPEC).

This job planning toolkit was designed for nurses in roles who have the title Clinical Nurse Specialist and carry a defined caseload of patients and/or run their own clinics.

The toolkit provides information to support:

•             Clinical Nurse Specialists in meeting the requirements of their job

•             nurses, managers and commissioners in designing Clinical Nurse Specialist roles

•             leaders and managers in health and social care system, in accounting for and valuing appropriately the significant contribution such roles make to the provision of services.
