The Advanced Nurse Practitioner (ANP) will lead same-day triage, ensuring patients receive timely assessment, management, referral, or signposting. Working autonomously and accountably, the ANP delivers high-quality, evidence-based nursing care while managing clinical risk. They undertake comprehensive assessments, including history taking and physical examination, and assess, diagnose, treat, refer, or signpost patients with undifferentiated, acute, chronic, or complex conditions, including minor illness and injury.

Using advanced clinical reasoning, the ANP formulates differential diagnoses and develops, implements, and evaluates effective management plans. They diagnose conditions, prescribe independently where qualified, and request, perform, and interpret investigations including bloods, swabs, ECGs, and imaging. The ANP supports prevention and long-term care, screening for disease risks, managing blood pressure, frailty, and diabetes risk, and promoting early intervention. They provide patient education, empower self-care, and refer to specialist services as required.

Accurate, contemporaneous records are maintained in line with professional standards. The ANP works collaboratively within the multidisciplinary team, including GPs, pharmacists, physiotherapists, and social prescribers, to deliver integrated, patient-centred care.
