What is FNP?

programme delivered by family nurses
• Offered to first time young mums (and
dads)
• Begins early in pregnancy, concluding
when child reaches 2 years
• Preventive public health programme,
focussing on adaptive behaviour change
• Evidence based programme proven to
improve short, medium and long term
outcomes and break the cycle of
disadvantage

Implementing a licensed programme
• To ensure programme replicated as intended and expected benefits
realised
• Well defined intervention + well defined implementation model
+ effective replication and implementation = positive outcomes
for intended consumers
Attention to fidelity at levels
• Intervention fidelity: programme model is delivered as intended
• Implementation fidelity: programme implementation drivers are
installed within a system to enable clinical replication

Replicating FNP with Fidelity
• The license
• Having a programme that can be
described - what, when, why and how
• Practitioner selection
• Clear guidelines and content
• Fidelity measures - core model elements
and stretch goals
• The learning programme and use of FNP
methods in practice
• Supervisor role - contributing to learning,
reflection, coaching
• Real time Information System and
performance evaluation - nurse, team, site
• Quality improvement measures
• The Advisory Board

Replicating FNP with Fidelity
• But…
• The programme is being implemented within a pre-existing system,
with its own norms, culture and expectations
• The programme model is complex and every client and their
circumstances are different
• So in both instances consideration is needed about what has to remain
fixed and what can be flexed

Effective replication:
fixed and flexed
For local leaders this means…
• Understanding the science and the impact leaders have on
outcomes
• Maintaining implementation fidelity whilst being creative in
flexing local systems for programme integration
• Respecting clinical practice and actively supporting
maintenance of intervention fidelity
• Using data reports, clinical analyses and client feedback to
guide efforts in continual quality improvement
• Planning for sustainability and preventing implementation drift
over time

Effective replication:
fixed and flexed
For family nurses and supervisors this means:
• Absorbing all the learning – theoretical underpinnings, content and
methods of the programme
• Skilful practice – adapting to replicate programme methods with
clients
• Using the real time information on implementation and achievement
of stretch goals to guide efforts in continual quality improvement
• Sustaining clinical model over time and absorbing new
augmentations
• With individual clients, across caseload, over time, within team

Moving integration forward
• How do we encourage more integration, in more places, more quickly, more
consistently?
• Further understanding of what is good practice re integration of FNP
• What can be flexed and how, what can’t and how to keep it fixed
• Understanding what works and doesn’t
• Sharing approaches and best practice
• What can FNPNU do to best support and stimulate integration?
