It will focus on nursing issues relevant in today’s practice, by predominantly centering on the ‘Endocrine Testing’ section of the competency framework, by exploring the Competent, Experienced and Senior / Expert Practitioner roles with reference to how to carry out dynamic endocrine function tests. Other topics will also be touched upon in order to initiate a discussion amongst all the nurses present, such as consent, information leaflets and other practicalities.
