Advanced Practice Nurse (APN)

Overview

APNs play a niche role within their discipline and they work in collaboration with a multidisciplinary team to provide care to their patients. Through their training, they possess the expert knowledge and critical decision-making skills to diagnose and manage common medical conditions. Under the National Collaborative Prescribing Programme (NCPP), APNs can also prescribe medications within their scope of practice.
