Project advisory group
To guide the project through to completion and contribute to the direction of the project, an advisory group was involved throughout the duration of the project. The group included researchers working in the area of advanced practice roles, senior NHS nurse managers, senior clinical nurses (including nurse consultants) and patient representatives. The group met on a 6 monthly basis and their input was invaluable to ensure that the project outcomes were relevant in the changing context of the health service.

- Derek Bainbridge, Critical Care Nurse Consultant, The Rotherham NHS Foundation Trust
- Jackie Bird, Chief of Quality & Standards/Chief Nurse, The Rotherham NHS Foundation Trust
