| Authors: | Toni Hains, Catherine Turner |

| Abstract: | Objective This paper articulates a need for the nurse entrepreneur working as a surgical assistant. Negatively impacting on the role are the complex factors of: • lack of professional support from the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Australia; • lack of a process for remuneration through the Medical Benefits Schedule; and a • lack of guidance to navigate the bureaucratic system |
| Description: | Absence of recognition of nurses (including Nurse Practitioners) as surgical assistants by the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Australia is not conducive to recognition of these roles by other government entities such as Medicare. Specialty advanced practice roles like that of the nurse surgical assistant enhance patient safety. While support for these specialty roles from the medical profession is applauded, it is an indictment on the peak Australian regulatory body for the nursing profession that support for the nurse surgical assistant including the nurse practitioner surgical assistant is not yet evident |
