The role is defined by the Nurse Practitioner scope of practice and is undertaken under the clinical mentorship of an endorsed Nurse Practitioner and/or Senior Medical Officer until endorsement is achieved.  \nThe Nurse Practitioner Candidate functions as an integral member of the Specialist Palliative Care Rural Telehealth (SPaRTa) Townsville team, providing advanced and extended nursing practice to patients with life-limiting illness across Townsville Hospital and Health Service (THHS), Mackay Hospital and Health Service (MHHS), and North West Hospital and Health Service (NWHHS) . Through a predominantly telehealth service model, the role supports patients, families, carers and clinicians in rural and remote communities to deliver timely, equitable and evidencebased specialist palliative care.  \nThe Nurse Practitioner Candidate demonstrates expert clinical leadership, advanced clinical reasoning and autonomous decision-making within their scope of practice and level of competence. Working collaboratively with their clinical mentor, Senior Medical Officers, multidisciplinary teams and local healthcare providers, the NPC undertakes comprehensive assessments, develops evidence-based management plans and contributes to therapeutic decision-making to optimise patient outcomes.  \nThe Nurse Practitioner Candidate provides expert clinical consultation, care coordination, education and capacity building to rural and remote clinicians and contributes to service innovation, quality improvement, research and the ongoing development of the SPaRTa model of care. As part of their advanced practice development, the NPC will progressively develop competence in advanced assessment, diagnostic reasoning, therapeutic management and the quality use of medicines while meeting the educational and clinical requirements for Nurse Practitioner endorsement.  \nVersion 1.3 | Created and endorsed: March 2020 | Date reviewed: June 2025  \nAbout the department  \nThe SPaRTa team provides multidisciplinary telehealth clinical palliative care services to rural & remote Townsville Hospital & Health Service (THHS), Northwest Hospital and Health Service (NWHHS) and Mackay Hospital and Health Service (MHHS) .  \nThe Care in the Right Setting (CaRS) initiative now known as SPaRTa includes four regional specialist Palliative Care Service Hub and Spoke Models.
