Role of nursing and midwifery in mainstreaming genomics in Australia: mixed-methods study exploring scope of practice and strategies for implementation
Our findings highlight the need for clearly defined roles and scope of practice for nurses and midwives, supported by tailored, co-designed workforce development programs and implementation processes. Such approaches are essential to meet the varied needs and competencies of nurses and midwives and to fully enable the benefits of accessible genomic care.
