What is an Advanced Nurse Practitioner?

An ANP is a highly trained nurse with advanced clinical skills in primary care. They make complex clinical decisions, assess patients, prescribe medication, and manage care plans. ANPs often serve as the first point of contact in primary care, dealing with a wide range of health issues across all ages.

With over 4,400 ANPs working in General Practice and PCNs, they are essential in meeting the growing healthcare demand.

The Crucial Role of ANPs in UK Healthcare

ANPs are indispensable in primary care, helping to reduce GP workloads by handling cases independently, managing chronic conditions, and improving public health. Their ability to provide comprehensive care, while reducing wait times, makes them essential in both urgent and routine healthcare settings.
