Aim: The number of advanced practice roles in the Australian health-care system is growing alongside contemporary health-care reforms. The present study aimed to evaluate the impact of introducing novel advanced practice dietitian roles in gastrostomy tube (g-tube) management and develop a competency framework for progressing opportunities in dietetics practice and policy.
Methods: A questionnaire was distributed to service lead dietitians at six participating health-care networks at the completion of a dedicated advanced practice funding grant, and at 12-month follow up.
