Nursing @ The Alfred
The Alfred Nursing Services is committed to providing outstanding nursing care and service in an environment where patient centred care, respect and trust are evident in all interactions with our patients, carers and colleagues.
Primary nursing is our nursing care delivery system which operationalises the professional accountability of the registered nurse.
The concepts on which primary nursing are based are continuity of nursing care for patients, the acceptance by a designated nurse for the accountability for the outcomes of nursing care and the overall coordination of care within the multidisciplinary team.

The role of a clinical nurse
As a clinical nurse your practice will lead to excellence in patient care. You understand the importance of establishing a relationship between the patient and yourself in order to achieve the best possible outcomes for your patients.
You demonstrate the core nursing values of patient centred care, trust and respect in every interaction with patients, carers and colleagues.
The patient's primary nurse is accountable for establishing and evaluating the patient's plan of care in partnership with the patient, their carers and other members of the health care team.
In your role as associate nurse you will be responsible for facilitating the patient's plan of care. You will be supported in your role as a clinical nurse by all other nursing positions.
