When nurses take on doctors' roles are they just gap-filling?

The current climate of working practices for some nurses envisages an assumption of roles previously undertaken by doctors. These roles possess certain attributes: autonomy, responsibility, accountability and authority. In some areas of the country, pilot studies have resulted in the ‘rolling out’ of such roles, e.g. nurse consultants, emergency nurse practitioners, and site managers. However, there are certain questions that I believe need to be asked: why have such roles been devised? Who benefits? What are the costs associated with such changes and how can the future of nurses not ‘awarded’ with such roles be defined?
