Abstract

Genomic panel testing is increasingly being undertaken in the breast specialty to enhance diagnosis, treatment and surveillance recommendations. With increasing numbers of patients becoming eligible for testing, it is useful for advanced nurse practitioners (ANPs) and clinical nurse specialists (CNSs) who possess a relevant skill set to develop their abilities to include genomic mainstream panel testing counselling and to create a service to provide this. Within the breast specialty, ANPs and CNSs who undertake family history assessment as part of their role are perfectly placed to lead on this service and enhance their scope of practice safely and efficiently. Development of this service within the surgical specialty can enhance patients' experience owing to continuity of care, reduced hospital visits and a quicker turnaround time for results. Potential issues with developing the service include ensuring appropriate availability of trained staff, centralisation of referrals and providing education and awareness to the wider multidisciplinary team. This personal experience account of a service development may help others identify opportunities for development in their teams.

扩大乳房高级执业护士的作用:基因检测的主流途径。
基因组组检测越来越多地被用于乳腺专科,以加强诊断、治疗和监测建议。随着越来越多的患者有资格进行检测,拥有相关技能的高级执业护士(ANPs)和临床护理专家(CNSs)有必要发展他们的能力,包括基因组主流小组检测咨询,并创造一种服务来提供这种服务。在乳腺专科,将家族史评估作为其职责的一部分的annp和CNSs完全有能力领导这项服务,并安全有效地扩大其实践范围。在外科专业内发展这项服务可以提高患者的体验,因为护理的连续性,减少了住院次数和更快的结果周转时间。发展这项服务的潜在问题包括确保训练有素的工作人员的适当可用性,集中转诊以及向更广泛的多学科团队提供教育和意识。这种服务开发的个人经历可以帮助其他人在他们的团队中确定开发的机会。
