“…Nonetheless, this situation is in contrast to the common perception of that accident and emergency nurses are in control, able and prepared to respond effectively to whoever accesses this service (Endacott et al 1999).

Summary This paper reports the findings of a survey of UK consultant nurses in emergency care. The purpose of the survey was to elicit information regarding level of preparation for the consultant nurse role, the use of formal competency frameworks, current clinical scope of practice and perspectives on future preparation for the role.
