A workshop was held by the Nursing Council of Kenya (NCK), in collaboration with the Kenya Obstetrical and Gynaecological Society (KOGS), to discuss a survey that informed the review and subsequent updates to nurses' scope of practice in Kenya. The focus of this review was on providing immediate postpartum intrauterine device (PPIUD) services, which has since led to updates in the scope of practice. This workshop took place at Heron Court Portico on January 18, 2019. NCK partnered with KOGS to conduct a survey that would guide the revision of nurses' scope of practice in Kenya for PPIUD services.

The review and subsequent updates to nurses' scope of practice by the Nursing Council of Kenya (NCK) are crucial, especially considering the potential impact on healthcare providers. The revised scope of practice influences their ability to provide PPIUD services and could affect compliance with relevant regulations. Healthcare professionals in Kenya should be aware of these developments as they pertain to nurses' roles in providing reproductive health services. These updates aim to ensure that nurses are adequately equipped to deliver quality care, including PPIUD services.

The implications of the revised scope of practice for nurses in Kenya extend beyond healthcare delivery. Lawyers advising healthcare providers must stay informed about these changes as they impact compliance with regulations and the ability to provide certain reproductive health services, such as PPIUD. The NCK's review and subsequent updates to the scope of practice are critical steps towards enhancing reproductive health outcomes in Kenya by ensuring that nurses are empowered to deliver quality care within their revised scope of practice.

Lawyers advising healthcare providers in Kenya should watch for updates on the revised scope of practice for nurses, which may impact their ability to provide PPIUD services and inform compliance with relevant regulations.
