Abstract

A unique local practice initiative to develop a small group of nurses in the dual role of link advisors and champions for nutrition was part of a larger research project aimed at standardising nutritional care of preterm infants. Building upon the expertise of a small group of dedicated neonatal nurses, new clinical guidelines were successfully introduced and to date an incremental change in practice achieved. Furthermore, quality outcomes in terms of improving the research profile, bridging the research-practice gap, increased job satisfaction and personal practitioner recognition and achievement has contributed to the success of the project.
