Fulton J., Kuit J., Sanders G. & Smith P. (2012) Journal of Nursing Management20, 130-139 The role of the Professional Doctorate in developing professional practice Aims  The present study aims to reflect on, and analyse, one particular approach to the award of a Professional Doctorate. Background  The concept of the 'Professional' Doctorate offers opportunities for the development of work-based skills which transcend professional boundaries. There is now an established basis for Professional Doctorates with many Universities offering a qualification of this nature. Evaluations  It commences with a consideration of what the Professional Doctorate is, the philosophy of the Professional Doctorate and how it can impact on professional practice. Key issues  The key issues are underpinnings of the Professional Doctorate which is concerned with Mode 2 knowledge and the ways in which the Professional Doctorate can enhance and develop practice. Conclusions  Conclusions are then drawn which the authors believe will be of use to those managing, developing and studying on, Professional Doctorate programmes. Implications for Nursing Management  The present study then explores the issues which the authors have experienced over the past 5 years in running the scheme and highlights the potential benefits of the professional doctorate for organizations.
