"The Essentials of Care Program is a framework to support the development and ongoing evaluation of nursing and midwifery practice and patient care. It is underpinned by the principles of transformational practice development. This approach to practice requires that all stakeholders - patients, carers, staff and families - have opportunities to participate and are included in decisions about effective care using approaches that respect individual and collective values."
