Question: Policy and politics in nursing: Key differences between the UK and US Health systems. 

The UK and US health systems have many similarities, but also distinct differences that affect the role of advanced practice nurses in advocacy and politics. In the UK, there are four main organizations that provide healthcare: NHS England, NHS Scotland, NHS Wales, and NHS Northern Ireland. The US system is much more complex, consisting of a patchwork of private insurance companies, government programs such as Medicare or Medicaid, and providers without insurance coverage.

 

In both countries, policy decisions are made at a national level that has far-reaching implications for nursing. For example, in the UK the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) sets out key policies related to nursing research funding levels, and initiatives such as Health Education England (HEE) determine education standards for nurses. In the US, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) sets out policies related to healthcare reimbursement and quality of care standards.

 

Advanced practice nurses in both countries are well placed to influence policy and take on a role as advocates for change. In the UK, advanced practice nurses have the opportunity to engage with government bodies such as NHS England or NICE (National Institute for Health Care Excellence) or get involved in local health boards or clinical commissioning groups (CCGs). They can also form their own political action groups and petition MPs about particular issues.

 

In the US, advanced practice nurses can work with legislators at the state level, participate in public meetings related to proposed legislative changes as well as represent nursing interests in the media. They can also join professional nursing organizations such as ANA (American Nurses Association) or AONE (American Organization of Nurse Executives) to help advance the profession as a whole and advocate for policy changes that will benefit nurses and their patients.

 

Advanced practice nurses may also play an important role in educating other healthcare professionals and the public about policy changes, new legislation, and research findings related to healthcare delivery. In both countries, this could involve giving presentations, holding workshops, or writing articles for medical journals about areas of expertise. This is particularly important when advocating for change in areas such as patient safety or improving access to care for underserved populations.

 

Overall, advanced practice nurses have many opportunities to influence health policy in both the UK and US, by engaging with government bodies, lobbying for change, and educating other healthcare professionals and the public about key issues. By doing so, they can help improve our current health system and ensure that high-quality care is delivered to all patients.
