Advanced Nurse Practitioner; ANP

The Advanced Nurse Practitioner (ANP) is a senior clinical role within the practice multidisciplinary team. The ANP is an experienced, NMC-registered nurse who has completed education to Master’s level in advanced clinical practice and holds an independent prescriber qualification (V300), enabling them to assess, diagnose, treat, and prescribe autonomously for patients presenting with undifferentiated and undiagnosed conditions. The role operates across the four pillars of advanced practice — clinical practice, leadership, education, and research — and functions at a level comparable to a GP for many primary care presentations.
