Professional Nurse Advocates work to the A-EQUIP model (advocating and empowering for quality improvement).*
This involves providing nurses with restorative clinical supervision (RCS) supporting with career conversations or empowering nurses to take forward quality improvement.
Dimensions of the PNA role
The restorative supervision that PNAs provide is a fundamental element of their education and starts as soon as their training programme commences.
There are also four other supporting elements to the PNA Role.
- Clinical supervision (restorative)
- Monitoring, evaluation, and quality control (normative)
- Personal action for quality improvement (QI)
- Education and development (formative)
