title: Intuition and expert clinical practice in nursing.
abstract: The quest for the essence of nursing in the UK continues unabated. Similarly, the concept of what constitutes expert clinical practice and the problem of how it can be achieved are topical issues. This article considers the notion of a developmental process in nursing and the concept of reflective practice, and examines the idea of intuition as a key component in the functioning of the expert nurse.
