Advanced Nurse Practitioners
We are qualified nurses who have had substantial additional training in order to work at an advanced level.
--------------------------------------------------------The expertise of the ANP in primary care (e.g. GP practices) lies in our ability to operate as a 'generalist'. The ANP provides complete episodes of care for patients of any age and with a wide variety and range of presenting problems and health care needs. This encompasses the provision of evidence based, high-quality care for patients whose issues fall within: urgent/acute episodes, long-term/chronic conditions, health promotion and public health. (RCN, 2012).
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Examples of problems you can see our ANP’s for include:
Minor illness – e.g. coughs/colds/rashes/diarrhoea & vomiting/urinary problems/flu/stomach pains/ear problems/gout/neck pain/piles/back pain etc.
Minor injury – Any limb/joint problem/back pain/cuts and wounds/head injuries etc.
Chronic illness – Problems with your Asthma/COPD, chronic lung problem/High blood pressure/Cholesterol/Diabetes.
Women’s health – Vaginal discharge / pelvic pain / abnormal vaginal bleeding / heavy periods
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ANP’s can also request investigations if your condition indicates they are needed. These include blood tests, urine tests, swabs, X-rays and ultrasounds. They can also refer you to other services if required. This includes, but is not limited to, the hospital for specialist opinions or to services in the community.
