Main duties of the job
ANPs operating in
primary care have a wide range of skills, a broad knowledge base, and the ability
to deliver specific aspects of care. At times these will need to be
supplemented by the skills of specialist health care professionals in both
primary and secondary care, and include use of a range of diagnostic and
screening services. Although independent practitioners, the ANP act
collaboratively with colleagues working in the same area of practice, or refer
to and share care with colleagues in more specialist areas.
In summary, the
post holder is an experienced nurse who, acting within their professional
boundaries, will provide care for the presenting patient from initial history
taking, clinical assessment, diagnosis, treatment and evaluation of care. They
will demonstrate safe, clinical decision-making and expert care, including
assessment and diagnostic skills, for patients within the general practice.
The post holder
will demonstrate critical thinking in the clinical decision-making process.
They will work collaboratively with a range of multi-professional teams to meet
the needs of patients, supporting the delivery of policy and procedures, and
providing nurse leadership as required. In order to work at this level, NMC
requirements for advanced practice must be met.
Please see the job description for more information.

Although independent practitioners, the ANP act collaboratively with colleagues working in the same area of practice, or refer to and share care with colleagues in more specialist areas.
