The role of the Primary Care Network Advanced Nurse Practitioner

At THC Primary Care, we provide resources to support Primary Care Network leaders and in this shorter article, we share a nurses.co.uk blog with you, to fill you in on the role of the Primary Care Network Advanced Nurse Practitioner.

Let's jump in!

We are slowly but surely bringing you content and information on all of the roles funded via the Additional Roles Reimbursement Scheme (ARRS).

➡️ For an overview of these, check out our related blog; 'A comprehensive guide to the Primary Care Network Additional Roles Reimbursement Scheme (ARRS) 23/24'.

For the role of the Advanced Nurse Practitioner, we thought we'd do things a little bit differently and signpost our readers to a fellow blogger over at nurses.co.uk, who has published their own helpful insight into the role of the Advanced Nurse Practitioner.

Their blog covers the following, key areas:

What does the role involve?
What qualifications do you need to become an ANP?
A typical day in the life of an ANP.

We hope this is helpful.
