- Abstract
It is recognised that specialist nurses play a unique role in managing patients with vulval conditions, providing ongoing assessment, early intervention for deterioration, and the tailoring of treatments in reaction to symptoms and presentation. Standards documents have been published for vulval services in the UK, which includes nurse intervention and mirrors the NHS Health Education England (2017).' The focus of this clearly defines the rationale and benefits of embedding advanced clinical practice nursing roles within the NHS workforce. In view of this a nurse competency document Scope of Practice (SOP) has been developed to promote robust clinical governance, appropriate clinical supervision with clear pathways of communication supporting safe and effective practice. The document has been compiled by experienced clinicians in this field in collaboration with The British Society for the Study of Vulval disease (BSSVD). This article will give an overview of the document content with recommendations on how to implement in clinical practice.
