title: How to define levels of nursing practice.
abstract: This article describes the attempts of a joint working group (Box 1) to define what is meant by levels of practice within orthopaedic and pain management nursing, and to generate discussion among nurses. The group has produced a grid system which they believe successfully links practice level to academic ability.
