The issues that formed the major topic of discussion in the webinar were the person
and family centred care, the best practice and clinical preparedness permit. These are stated to
be some of the most critical issues that required in-depth evaluation and understanding in the
nursing perspective that allow in association with the professional nursing context. For
applying consistency care process in practice, it is crucial that clear, lucid and scientific

number of terms, definitions and elements that is stated to be a practice-theory of care.
However, it can be noted that the on-going theory and practice involves a gap that involves a
number of challenges in the implementation of care at all level of the healthcare system
(Rnao.ca, 2015). It seems to be important to establish a therapeutic relationship among
patient, family, healthcare professionals and others by attributing the process of care delivery.
