Main duties of the job
Nurse Practitioner (NP)
· A NP is a registered nurse with relevant experience and post registration education. During a specific episode, and within their defined area of practice, they assess, manage, deliver and advise on care, offering appropriate support as required.
· Clinically a nurse practitioner differs from an advanced nurse practitioner (ANP), as the ANP is expected to work at an advanced level with a wider scope of practice and manage greater clinical complexity with a higher level of decision making.
· A NP performs comprehensive clinical examinations of patients in their entirety, inclusive of physical examination of all systems, mental health assessment and remote assessment where appropriate and qualified, within their defined area of clinical practice.
· As part of the multidisciplinary team, a NP has the autonomy to act and accept responsibility and accountability for their own actions, acting as an advisor for patients, or a resource for others within their defined area of clinical practice.
