1 Introduction – 2 The environmental context and traits of habitat-forming bivalves influence the magnitude of their ecosystem engineering – 3 Opportunity or optimality : poor design of predator foraging studies compromises discrimination between foraging models – 4 Sources of variation in predator-grey interactions: sex, satiation and mussel configuration influence foraging by the European shore crab, Carcinus maenus – 5 Predator vs. facilitator: indirect effects of the European shore crab, Carcinus maenus, on communities outweigh direct effects – 6 Discussion.

Predation is a key process shaping ecological communities. In addition to the consumptive effects of predators, where predators modify the structure of ecosystem engineers, they may have large cascading impacts on native biodiversity. In Australia, Carcinus maenas, the European shore crab, is a voracious benthic predator of bivalves that may play a role in structuring benthic communities. Along the southeast coast, the crab inhabits mangrove forests and preys upon with Xenostrobus securis, an ecologically important Australian bed-forming mussel that facilitates diverse associated invertebrate communitics. My thesis examines: (1) how traits of habitat-forming bivalves and environmental context interact to influence associated invertebrate communities: (2) foraging patterns by C maenas on X. securis and the mechanisms that drive these; and (3) direct and indirect effects of C. maenas predation on X securis mussel beds and their associated invertebrate communities. Using a meta-analysis of existing literature, I show that although habitat-forming bivalves have universally positive effects on associated communities, the magnitude of their effect varies according to variation in traits of the bivalves and habitat context. Hence, predation that modifies the density and/or size structure of habitat-forming bivalves has the potential to have large cascading impacts to associated communities. Foraging experiments reveal that C. maenas displays size-specific patterns of bivalve predation that, contrary to the suggestion of earlier studies, are opportunistic as opposed to energy-maximising. Crab gender and satiation as well as the spatial configuration of bivalve prey also influence predation. The impact of C. maenas predation on X. securis mussel beds is greater than native crabs, Paragrapsus laevis but neither crab has a significant consumptive effect on associated invertebrates. Instead, crab predation indirectly modifies the associated invertebrate assemblage structure by changing the structure of the bivalves. Contrary to the assumption that crab predation would produce negative indirect effects on mussel bed communities, where predation resulted in increasednumbers of dead bivalve shells, associated invertebrate abundance increased. Overall, these results demonstrate that non-native predators may have significant impacts on native biodiversity, not only as a result of direct, consumptive effects,…

▼ In Australia, homebirth has not been a mainstream option for childbirth for many years due to political reasons, societal attitudes towards childbirth, and a lack of services Since the 1990s, publicly-funded homebirth services have developed as a result of a growing demand from women and midwives. These services are few in number, and often embedded within a midwifery group practice in a hospital setting. As a relatively new model of care, these services have had little formal research, and only a few evaluations. The purpose of this study was to explore the influences on women who chose a publicly-funded homebirth. The setting was a publicly-funded homebirth service in southern Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. A grounded theory methodology, using a feminist approach was used to collect and analyse the data. Data were collected though semi-structured interviews of 18 women, 5 midwives and 2 partners of the women. Six main categories emerged from the data. These described the influences women had when they chose to have a publicly-funded homebirth. These categories were feeling independent, strong and confident, doing it my way, protection from hospital related activities, having a safety net, selective listening and telling, and engaging support. The core category was having faith in normal. This category linked all the other categories and was an overriding attitude towards themselves as women and the process of childbirth. The basic social process was validating the decision to have a homebirth. This was a dynamic, changeable process and principally a strategy to lessen stress regarding their decision to have a homebirth by reinforcing already-held reasons (for example, their ‘low risk’ status, strength and ability to have a normal birth) and beliefs (for example, their faith in normal, natural processes). The findings establish that women have similar influences to other studies of women when choosing homebirth. However, the women in this study were reassured by the publicly-funded system’s ‘safety net’ and seamless links with the hospital system. The flexibility of the service to permit women to change their minds to give birth in hospital, and essentially choose their birthplace at any time during pregnancy or labour was also appreciated.

In recent years there has been increasing interest in improving the quality of policy through building the policy capacity of public sector institutions. To date, however, there has been little evidence on which to base capacity building interventions. This thesis presents a study of policy process and policy capacity in the Department of Human Services (DHS) in the Australian State of Victoria. Policy capacity was defined as the organisational infrastructure that supports effective policy development and implementation (including individual competencies). The study drew on the health policy, public policy and public administration literature. Data collection methods involved (i) individual in-depth interviews with policy workers in four policy-oriented organisational units of DHS to explore the policy process and policy capacity, and (ii) a focus group and individual interviews with experienced policy workers to explore potential capacity building strategies. Findings indicate that building policy capacity requires attention to four domains: building and managing a policy-competent workforce; developing formal processes and guidelines for strengthening the policy process; strengthening organisational culture and policy leadership; and strengthening structures and relationships to support policy capacity. Building capacity also involves negotiating tensions between policy capacity and two other elements of governing capacity (administrative capacity and state capacity). The appropriate choice of capacity building strategies depends on context and contingency, including the specifics of particular policies, times and settings. Accordingly, the thesis concludes that a focus on developing policy leadership at the middle and senior levels would be a strategic approach to building policy capacity. Policy leadership involves local level judgement, mentorship, initiative and responsibility, and the ability to mobilise organisational resources to build policy capacity.

▼ Farm-related fatalities are a significant problem in Australian agriculture. Over the period 2001–04, there were 404 fatalities that occurred as a direct consequence of visiting, residing or working on a farm. This research is comprised of two separate, but related components; the economic cost of farm-related fatalities and the farm health and safety study; a qualitative study into farmer perceptions and behaviour relating to farm safety. This study employed a human capital approach to establish the economic costs of farmrelated fatalities to the Australian economy. Fatalities were selected for analysis as they are the most reliable, accurate and comprehensive form of farm injury data available. A study was conducted on 335 farm enterprises to examine farmer perceptions and estimates of performance relating to the culture of safety and their systems and procedures to manage health and safety and major hazards on their farms. Finally, the changes farmers were making to health and safety on their farms, the motivating drivers for those changes, and what they perceived to be the risks and hazards on their farms were also assessed. Modelling of direct and indirect costs associated with farm-related fatalities estimated that the 404 traumatic deaths over the period 2001–04 cost the Australian economy $650.6 million, in 2008 dollars. This equates to 2.7 per cent of the 2008 farm gross domestic product (GDP) due to potentially preventable farm accidents and injuries. The top five agents causing death (tractors, ATVs, drownings, utilities and 2 wheel motorcycles) accounted for exactly half of the fatalities, and 46.7 per cent ($303.5 million) of the economic cost. Significant differences in gender, age and industry were revealed in attitudes and perceptions of farm safety and the management of health and safety and major hazards. Farm enterprises also provided a considerable level of detail on the changes and improvement they had made to farm safety, the reasons and motivations behind those changes, as well as details on what they perceived as the key risks and hazards on their farms. The outcomes of this research have questioned some of the preconceived ideas relating to farmers’ perceptions, attitudes and practices in relation to farm safety and have also identified potential new approaches and target populations for increasing adoption and implementation of farm safety recommendations. The challenge is for farm safety researchers, Farmsafe Australia, work safety authorities, industry and farmer groups and health practitioners to encourage further investment and resources into farm health and safety research, which will enable them to capitalise on these findings and re-evaluate farm safety strategies and initiatives to reduce the level of risk on Australian farms and therefore, the incidence of fatal and non-fatal injury and the cost of to the Australian economy.

Established in 1954, Tarrawarra Abbey represented an opportunity for a community to emerge that encouraged the interaction and collaboration between European and Aboriginal peoples. Instead, the historical discourse and relationship between Tarrawarra’s monks and Victoria’s Aboriginal people reflects a broader narrative of Australia’s past. Aboriginal histories, their perceptions of the natural world, strategies for managing and caring for the land as well as dispossession are treated as marginal and often invisible elements within a European history, architecture and life. Additionally, with the eradication of Aboriginal people from their position as protectors and guardians of their environment, combined with a changing climate, areas of Victoria’s landscape are now under serious threat as fire-storms continue to plague its most valuable forests. On February 7, 2009, the most destructive fire-storm in Australia’s history ripped through Victoria. With no Aboriginal influence on the landscape to control fuel, ‘Black Saturday’ as it became known, executed centuries old mountain ash trees, forcing them into a compromised state, a landscape trap. Consequently, the surviving stands of mountain ash and vulnerable stands of recent re-growth need protecting. This thesis addresses how site and sensory-based Aboriginal perspectives on the relationship between people, architecture and landscape can drive the manifestation of a ‘new’ and reinterpreted Cistercian monastery. Through this process the monastery will become an architectural scar. As a scar, the reinterpreted monastery and its community of monks and Aborignals will not only contribute to the protection of Kinglake National Park’s injured mountain ash forest and heritage stone water structures, but also assist in the mending of a torn relationship between two cultures.

▼ The Residential Aged Care (RAC) industry is the fastest growing sector of the health care industry in Australia, particularly with the needs of people aging eighty five years and over consuming most health care services (Productivity Commission, 2006). This thesis examines the staffing efficiency challenge that is facing the RAC industry in Australia, from the facility managers' perspectives. Staffing efficiency is a crucial component in the success of this industry that is labour intensive, delivering complex services twenty-four hours per day and seven days per week. By achieving staffing efficiencies, facility managers would minimise labour cost expenditures; thus, ensuring sustainability and growth of their organisation in the long run. The literature reviewed revealed limited number of scholarly reviews about staffing efficiencies conducted in Australia. Nevertheless, it highlighted a number of available staffing approaches available overseas which could be of promising results if they were adopted to suit the Australian industry and its operational systems. This thesis explores the prospects of RAC facility managers adopting 'alternative' or 'new' staffing methods in their facilities as one solution for this staffing challenge. In this study, the researcher refers to alternative or new staffing methods as staffing methods that are not currently utilised in the staffing of RAC facilities in Australia. Using an Interpretivist research paradigm, 18 semi-structured interviews were conducted with the participating RAC managers in their work environment. During the interviews, a sample alternative staffing tool, developed prior to the study, was displayed. The data generated were analysed in the context of the RAC industry's environment, operational challenges, and through the theoretical implication of neo-liberalism. This theory provided a vehicle for the analysis of the data generated on staffing within the context of Australia's current economic policies. The generated data revealed little chance of such adoption reflected in a number of findings including: 1) Participants' lack of interest in adopting alternative staffing methods despite their comments on the unsuitability of current tools. 2) Overdependence of the industry on cost cutting measures and monetary performance indicators. 3) Lack of incentives for the adoption of change and 4) Lack of preparedness of RAC facility managers for such change. Thorough analysis of the findings revealed misinterpretation of free-market principles in the currently utilised staffing tools, which links demand of service to the number of individuals requiring care on one hand, and the supply of services available to the number of staff rostered to provide the care, on the other hand. The application of such a principle on the RAC industry is questionable, particularly with the inconsistency in the elderly residents' care needs and the staffing skill mix. A new staffing approach that uses the care required by the elderly…

This thesis is an anthropological study of local understandings of economic development in a small regional town in far North Queensland, Australia. How do preferences regarding lifestyle and social wellbeing impact on those living in the community? The study takes a particular interest in the aspirations, values and choices of the residents and their desires for the future and the future of their town. Throughout this thesis I argue that social wellbeing and lifestyle are important factors in Cardwell residents' choices and feature predominantly in their approaches to economic development. I contextualise this study through a comparative analysis of the effects of economic development on the wellbeing and lifestyle of Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal people in the Cardwell region of north Australia. This comparison arises firstly from an anthropological interest in the circumstances of Australian Aboriginal people as a significant minority in regional towns. Explicit attention is directed toward the Aboriginal people of the Cardwell region as they constitute a socially and culturally distinct sector of the local population. Secondly, my study explores ways in which comparative work of this kind may be instructive on cultural issues relevant to economic development. This is a study of Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal people, who live in similar circumstances, and who, I propose, regard factors other than economic development as important. It is argued that while the Cardwell region does not provide ample nor a variety of economic opportunities, outward migration remains undesirable to many residents.

Introduction – The origins of management – Australia's first managers – Rushes and rises – The rise of the directing manager – The rise of management – Management dominates – Conclusion.

Management plays a prominent role in contemporary Australia. Yet historical accounts of managers and management practice in Australia have tended to portray their development as a progression of American technologies during the twentieth century. – This dissertation constructs a history of management in Australia from 1788 to 2010. It articulates how the role of the manager and management practice developed through institutions such as companies, businesses, branch structures, industrial relations, management consulting, training, education and discourse, referring to local, British and American influences. – The dissertation pursues three theses: The slow rise of the salaried manager preceded widespread acceptance of management as a discipline; A management rush occurred during the 1980s; and Management subsequently dominated business, politics and the public domain. – The rise of the salaried manager was principally tied to the rise of the public company but was also propelled by the manager's presence in Australia's strategically important industries and small businesses. The directing manager grew prominent as business organisations became larger, more bureaucratic and complex, and the power of the rich owners waned. By 1970 career managers occupied the chair and other seats in the boardroom as a result of managerial skills, rather than share ownership. – During the 1980s the number of managers increased markedly. The management education industry flourished as the number of MBA providers and enrolments increased. The management consulting industry grew dramatically because of economic changes such as deregulation and advances in information technology. Management consultants played a significant role in re-structuring businesses and promoting management discourse. The number of new management periodicals quickly increased and several Australian management journals and monographs were published. The management rush transformed business and disseminated management discourse throughout the workplace. – Management dominated business, government and the political agenda from 1990 to 2010. Economic management became the principal element in government policies, even the central issue for political campaigns. The number of managers continued to rise and the workforce was awash with managers bearing manifold titles and functions. Business schools enjoyed continued growth and the management education industry expanded and was re-shaped by mergers and re-structures. Management consultancies continued to prosper and remained instrumental in promoting management discourse and were joined by management education which similarly enjoyed strong international networks. Management discourse spread beyond business to pervade public discourse. – The dissertation concludes by addressing the role of…

This thesis explains why immigration detention persists as part of Australia's immigration policy. It argues that this form of incarceration has a long history in Australia, and that it fulfils specific social and political functions. The thesis also demonstrates that immigration detention is punitive and therefore breaches Australia's constitution.

▼ This thesis is about the genesis and development of the Australian naval and sea cadet movement between 1863 and 1952. During this period the movement came into being when individual cadets joined colonial naval brigades in New South Wales and Victoria in the early 1860s. It only became recognisable as a movement, however, when separate branches of defence-based naval cadet units and community-based sea cadet units were formed between 1898 and 1910. The movement ceased to exist in this dual form in 1952 when the Royal Australian Navy (RAN) assumed responsibility for both branches of the movement. This thesis argues that the existence of the officially sanctioned part-time Naval Reserve Cadet (NRC) branch of the naval and sea cadet movement pre-disposed the RAN to question the need for community-based sea cadets for the first half of the twentieth century. From its inception, the navy took full responsibility for the organisation, control, personnel and funding of its defence component of the movement. In contrast, the Australian Naval Board consistently resisted the efforts of the community-created sea cadet branch to garner identical input in these four areas.The fundamental reason for the navy’s reluctance to become involved in the organisation and administration of the community-based sea cadet branch was its potential duplication of the training and recruitment role of the NRC. From 1900 to 1920, community-based sea cadet organisers, particularly those forming nautical offshoots of the church-sponsored Boys’ Brigade, engaged in nautical training as a means of developing citizenship. Because of this maritime emphasis, they received some limited support from the navy, and there was an unsuccessful attempt to have the RAN assume control of these community-based sea cadet units and manage them as a ‘junior NRC’ scheme. From 1920, organisations such as the Boy Scouts’ Association and the Navy League, which dominated the community-based branch of the movement for the next 30 years, started to focus on their role as a recruitment base for the navy and pressed the Naval Board for greater navy commitment to their training and funding needs. Progressively, attempts by these larger community-based sea cadet organisations to have the navy commit fully to providing support, on the same basis that it did for the defence-based NRC, became the fundamental focus of all exchanges between these groups and the Naval Board. Through periods of compulsory cadet training, economic depression and war, discussions between the Naval Board and community-basedsea cadet organisers progressively came to focus solely on the merits of the RAN administering, and funding, both branches of the movement.A transition away from this problematic dual system of defence-based and community sponsored naval and sea cadets began in the aftermath of World War II. Influenced by changes in naval and sea cadet policy in Britain, the Naval Board began the process of creating one system of naval and sea cadet administration under the Director of Naval Reserves… Advisors/Committee Members: Stockings, Craig, Humanities & Social Sciences, UNSW Canberra, UNSW, Hancock, Eleanor, Humanities & Social Sciences, UNSW Canberra, UNSW.

▼ Generic delineations within the Laurencia complex are examined on a worldwide scale using both morphological characters and molecular cladistics (rbcL) including new evidence from Australian and Asian Pacific material. The results show that the genera Osmundea and Yuzurua are both monophyletic and well supported, that Palisada is not a distinct genus but should be merged with Chondrophycus, and that the genus Laurencia is polyphyletic among three separate clades; Laurencia sensu stricto, Laurencia elata group and Laurencia marilzae group. The results also show an unnamed clade closely related to the Osmundea genus. The unnamed clade, the elata group, and the marilzae group are recognized as new genera with both molecular and morphological evidence; Norfophycus gen. nov. from Norfolk Island and the Philippines; Coronaphycus gen. nov. from Australia; and Neolaurencia gen. nov. from the Canary Islands, Spain, respectively. One new genus is recognized based on morphological evidence alone; Namia gen. nov. from Korea. In addition, three new combinations are made; Coronaphycus elatus comb. nov., Neolaurencia marilzae comb. nov., and Namia kangjaewonii comb. nov. As well as investigating the genera this research investigates the species of the Laurencia complex that occur in NSW. The entire coast of NSW, including Lord Howe and Norfolk Islands, was visited with the express purpose of collecting taxa belonging to this complex. Molecular phylogenies using the genes rbcL, rbcL-rbcS spacer, and COX1 were created and combined with traditional morphological investigations to determine species within the Laurencia complex. Results show seventeen individual species are present in NSW; in the genus Laurencia; L. calliptera, L. queenslandica stat. nov., L. venusta, L. concinna, L. decussata stat. nov., L. elegans stat. nov., and L. dendroidea; in the genus Coronaphycus; Coronaphycus elatus comb. nov., Coronaphycus minorus sp. nov; in the genus Chondrophycus; Chondrophycus cruciatus, and in the genus Norfophycus; Norfophycus originalis sp. nov. As well, six taxa may represent previously undescribed species, however further investigations are required to confirm identifications; four Laurencia taxa, one Chondrophycus taxon and one Norfophycus taxon.

▼ This thesis explores the ability of global climate models (GCMs) to simulate observed conditions at regional scales by examining probability density functions (PDFs) of daily minimum temperature (Tmin), maximum temperature (Tmax) and precipitation (P). Two new measures of model skill are proposed using PDFs of observed and modelled data. The first metric (Sscore) compares the amount of overlap between the two PDFs. The second metric (Tailskill) is the weighted difference between the PDF tails, where extreme events are represented. The resulting measures of skill are used to differentiate, at a regional scale, between weaker and stronger models. It is investigated whether the weaker models bias future projections given by multi-model ensembles, increasing the uncertainty in the range of projected values and the change from the 20th Century.The Sscore is demonstrated to be robust against inhomogenities found in highdensity Australian datasets, and is a simple and quantitative measure of how well each GCM can simulate all observed events. This methodology is executed for twelve Australian regions of varying climates for all Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change 4th Assessment Report models for which daily data was available for 1961-2000. Across Tmin, Tmax and P some GCMs perform well, demonstrating that some GCMs provide credible simulations of climate at sub-continental scales.Projections of the annual and seasonal mean and yearly return values over the A2 and B1 emission scenarios are investigated. Models are omitted from an ensemble based on their ability to simulate the observed PDF at regional scales. The stronger models are generally in agreement with the change in mean values, particularly for Tmin and Tmax, though it is shown that they vary in their projections of the yearly return value at least twice as much as projections in the mean values.Lastly, a means-based evaluation method, the Sscore and the Tailskill are employed to differentiate between weaker and stronger models for projections in the 20-year return value of Tmin and Tmax. Weaker-skilled ensembles project larger increases in 20-year return values than stronger-skilled ensembles, such that in some regions for maximum temperature the ensembles are statistically significantly different. Demonstrably weaker models bias projections given by an all-model ensemble and should be excluded so the most reliable estimates of future climate can be obtained.

▼ ABSTRACTMy current field of research explores personal experiences of immigration and integration within Australian society often with a humorous narrative, but trying at all times to be poignant. My painting provides an analysis of both the psychological and cultural realities of immigration to Australia – as one that importantly questions many current ideas. The structure of the Master of Fine Arts by research also provides an opportunity to refine my theoretical and thoughtful groundings and to significantly develop my writing. Developed through research studies, I believe my project could be a convincing contribution to both visual culture and importantly to wider community discussion relating to immigration in Australia.My research is based on myself as an immigrant, relating to my new surroundings, from an immigrant's perspective, and interrogating my relationship with the Australian environment and culture. Both the psychological and cultural interrogation will also reflect the unavoidable clash of values intrinsic to immigration. The project is concerned with cross-cultural issues: my research explores specific cultural and social perspectives of China and Australia. I created works that allow the Chinese techniques of painting, which I learnt in China, and Courbet's oil techniques to become transformed and altered through my exposure to Western techniques and culture. I use the Chinese Confucian Yin-Yang philosophy as a tool to explore the Chinese and Western artistic influences. Finally my research examines how each of these factors culminates in my own personal philosophy of “Non-Philosophy”. This research project can be described as using figurative painting as an appropriate contemporary vehicle for investigating immigration and cultural frisson. I use these elements in the new culture: to contribute a strong justification for my research. My painting also brings challenges to contemporary thought, questions my relationship with my new surroundings and establishes a visual dialogue between notions of isolation versus participation within Australian culture. Formally, it encourages the viewer to consider the relationship between myself (isolated as an immigrant), and Australian society. From an existential viewpoint, this emphasis considers my relationship within a global society. Advisors/Committee Members: Rees, Vaughan, Art, College of Fine Arts, UNSW.

▼ Peter Sculthorpe’s Irkanda Period, 1954-1965: Music, Nationalism, ‘Aboriginality’ and Landscape Peter Sculthorpe began writing what he considered to be truly Australian music in the mid1950s. Many audience members, critics and culture industry personnel also heard it as Australian. Sculthorpe’s place in Australian music has subsequently been very prominent, beginning in the early 1960s during his Irkanda period. The period takes its name from his works Irkanda I - IV, their name borrowed from an Aboriginal word meaning “scrub country” that Sculthorpe variously translated as “the huge scrub-country of Central Australia,” “an austere and lonely place” and “a remote and lonely place.” This thesis is a study of the Irkanda-period works on which Sculthorpe’s initial reception was based: the origin of his dominant nationalist project, of significance in both his oeuvre and the history of Australian music. These musical representations of aspects of Aboriginal ‘folklore’ and central Australian landscapes have received significant popular and academic attention. However, many accounts have been shaped by what is identified as a culturally nationalist historiography evident in much of the commentary on Australian music and culture from the mid1960s. This thesis addresses some of the distorting effects of this historiography, through biographical analysis, music analysis and source study. An overarching aim is to analyse the music and reception of Sculthorpe’s Irkanda works in detail to address the question of what it was that audiences found plausibly Australian about them. Sculthorpe’s Irkanda music draws on longstanding representational traditions in classical and entertainment genres of musical exoticism, landscape, and ‘primitivism.’ His work is strongly connected with contemporary non-indigenous Australian cultural expressions of landscape and ‘Aboriginality.’ The relationship of his work with these contexts is explored, as is the nationalist basis of his music and its context within wider Australian and transnational cultural traditions.

▼ Background: Practice nurses in Australia could collaborate more with general practitioners to complement the services provided. However, for this to occur it is important to determine whether practice nurses have the opportunity and support they need to increase their decision-making about the organisation and delivery of patient care. Aim: The aim of this research is to determine if there are actual and/or potential opportunities for practice nurses to participate in collaborative care and increase their decision-making about patients’ care. Methods: A sequential mixed-methodology was used. The first quantitative study was designed to determine relationships between opportunities for decision-making by practice nurses in their work place, support from colleagues and supervisors, and opportunities for the development of skills and abilities. An opportunistic sample of practice nurses (n= 160) employed in the State of New South Wales was asked to complete a 60-item self-administered online questionnaire, the ‘Job Content Questionnaire’. Internal reliability and consistency was determined by α coefficients and confirmatory factor analysis. Sequential regression models tested hypothesised relationships between independent and dependent variables. The second qualitative study was designed to develop an in-depth and contextual understanding of the results presented by the questionnaire. A purposive sample of practice nurses (n= 15) employed in New South Wales, who had not participated in Study 1, was recruited. These practice nurses were asked to participate in an interview guided by the findings of the first study. The interview data were thematically analysed. The results of each study were triangulated. Results: Results from Study 1 and Study 2 indicated that practice nurses have the opportunity to make decisions about the organisation and delivery of care to patients, and are making a distinct contribution to the care of patients in general practice. While they are collaborating with general practitioners within the structural limitations on their role, their ability to contribute to care is dependent on their capacity to build relationships and demonstrate the financial viability of their role. Discussion and conclusions: Workforce shortages and increased demands for care, particularly for people with chronic disease, will challenge the primary care sector. Practice nurses are well placed to expand their practice to lead the management of patients with chronic disease and to pursue more independent and perhaps, autonomous clinical practice. However, there is a need for a clear articulation of a professional frame of reference for this role, which will require alterations to the funding and the traditional structure of general practice. It must also be demonstrated that practice nurse-led care is both safe and effective.
