Abstract
In human medicine, the arrival of the independent nurse practitioner is raising questions about where the boundaries lie between the roles of nurses and doctors.

Zoe Berry, herself a nurse practitioner, provides food for thought for anyone watching developments in the veterinary nursing profession
