Are you an experienced Advanced Nurse Practitioner looking for an exciting new opportunity?
A highly regarded, forward-thinking Teaching Practice combines the valued elements of a traditional family practice with a progressive attitude. There are exciting opportunities for the future and long-term stability.
Main duties of the job
The ANP provides an opportunity for patients to avoid the need to be referred to a GP, thereby enabling them to receive timely care and negate unnecessary delay in receiving treatment.
ANPs in primary care can develop close, long-term relationships with their patients and work in partnership with them to achieve optimum health. They are autonomous in making decisions based on assessment, diagnosis, and interpretation of test results. They can independently prescribe appropriate medication, evaluate, or refer to other specialists if necessary.
