Professional Nursing Practice Model: Nuclear Model
(Please see the diagram in the attached sheet)
We base on the Professional Nursing Practice Model
of PWH (Nuclear Model). It is an essential framework
in guiding professional nursing practice. It is also
a means of reflecting service values and beliefs of
nurses at our department. The Nuclear Model consists
of three essential components namely ¡§Clinical
Practice¡¨, ¡§Nursing Management¡¨
and ¡§Education and Research¡¨.
Clinical Practice
Advance Practice
The department supports the dynamic and varied practices
of Nursing Officer, Nurse Specialist, Advanced Practice
Nurse, Registered Nurse and Enrolled Nurse. They are
members of the health care team that promote multidisciplinary
collaboration and high standards of care. The disease
specific focus allows for a unique opportunity to develop
expertise and knowledge within an area of clinical practice.
Continuity of care moves across inpatient and ambulatory
settings and all stages of disease and treatment.
The nurses participate in the implementation of direct
patient care, patient education and clinical support
programs to insure optimum care throughout the healthcare
continuum. Nurses work in the following areas:
- Acute Care Inpatient Units
- Ambulatory Clinics
- Chemotherapy Day Ward
- Radiotherapy Section
- Operation Theatre
- Oncological Complication Care
- Pain and Palliative Care
Evidence-Based Nursing Practice
We support and develop evidence-based methodology to
insure that we are providing the most up to date care
for our patients.
