Developing the concept for the Caring with Kindness –
Nursing and Midwifery Professional Practice Framework
> Review of the international, national and state
approaches to practice development
frameworks and methodologies
> Advice and feedback sought from nurses and
midwives
> A central reoccurring tenet in all the initiatives
explored when developing the Framework was
the concept of person centred care.

outlined the proposed approach

being undertaken across SA Health
> Light touch, maximum outcomes:

provides evidence of achievement for the NSQHSS,
NMSF and for individual nurses and midwives
performance review and development.
• The Framework also provides examples of the values
