title: Continence nurse specialists: time for recognition.
abstract: At long last the UKCC has recognised and designated what specialist nursing practice and practitioners should be (UKCC, 1994): 'Specialist nursing practice is defined by the Council as practice for which the nurse is required to possess additional knowledge and skill in order to exercise a higher level of clinical judgment and discretion in clinical care and to provide expert clinical care and leadership, teaching and support to others.'
