Project Announcement No. 2 September 10th, 2013
The CLLEVER study is a national study bringing together some of Australia’s leading researchers in the field of nurse practitioner education. CLLEVER is an acronym for CLinical LEarning & GoVERnance, a short title for the project:

Educating Nurse Practitioners: advanced specialty competence, clinical learning & governance. The project has been funded by the Office of Learning and Teaching.

The aim of this study is to develop a governance framework for learning and teaching of advanced specialty practice in the workplace. The project outcomes will include teaching and learning tools and a framework for teaching, learning and assessment in complex clinical workplace situations.

This project will use one or two specialty groups of nurse practitioners as the demonstration fields of practice to explore, articulate and document teaching and learning processes and learning outcomes.

The first two phases of the project are now complete and Phase 3 is ready to commence. Phase 3 is the case study in which nurse practitioner students and their academic and clinical supervisors will be interviewed to inform and validate an education governance framework. Our research team at QUT will start recruiting participants shortly.
