Full text not available from this repository.
Abstract
Extended scope of practice (ESoP) and advanced scope of practice (ASoP) physiotherapy roles have been in place in the UK for over 20 years. However, interest in these types of services appears to be only just evolving within Australia. Although ESoP and/or ASoP cardiorespiratory roles in intensive care units (ICU) may be perceived to be more achievable in large metropolitan teaching hospitals, at least 67% of Australian ICUs provide physiotherapy services. Very little has been published on the practicalities (e.g. training pathways, evidence for use and guidelines) of developing advanced or extended scope cardiorespiratory physiotherapy services within Australian ICUs. This report describes the development and implementation of a physiotherapy-led bronchoscopy service from a regional hospital perspective
