نویسنده
چکیده
In May 1995 the author was appointed as the first laparoscopic nurse practitioner (NP) in the UK. The role was to provide a seamless service for patients undergoing laparoscopic general surgery. Three factors influenced the development of this role: □ The reduction in junior doctors' hours ( NHSME 1991 ) □ The Calman Report ( 1993 ) which redefined surgical training □ The NHS Executive Report ( 1994 ) stating that 60 per cent of all elective surgery should be performed on a day-case basis by the year 1996/97.
