                                    Nursing practice is advancing. Nurse clinic is regarded as one of the innovative forms of advanced nursing practice to
                                    support intermediate care after the acute phase of disease (Wong and Chung, 2006).

                                    Patient care clinics run by nurses have long been set up in some specific clinical services in the HA. The definition of nurse
                                    clinics was standardised in 2003 and accrediting nurse clinics was initiated in 2006 (Hospital Authority, 2013). The HA
                                    continues to develop nurse clinics both within hospitals and in the community. Over these years, nurse clinics have assumed
                                    their distinctive roles of providing health counselling to patients and their families or carers, offering psychological support,
                                    monitoring patient’s health status and delivering nursing interventions. In general, patients reported their experiences of
                                    improved outcomes and enhanced satisfaction with care following the nurse clinic consultation, and physicians valued their
                                    partnership in care with nurses (Wong and Chung, 2006). The evidence for the effectiveness of nurse-led intervention is also
                                    supported by systemic review (Ndosi et al., 2011).

                                    This presentation will demonstrate the collaboration of nurse consultants from the Nurse Clinics of Cardiology, Continence,
                                    Wound and Breastfeeding in providing advanced nursing care to a patient, and their significant others in a holistic
                                    perspective. Clinics support and empower patients and their family to overcome their health problems so as to make it a
                                    positive experience.
