Developing a Nurse Practitioner role
• Is there a need for an advanced nursing resource in your area of practice?
• Does this fit with the organisation’s strategic plans?
• The existing workforce must also be willing to change shape to accommodate this new role
![Page 4: Lesley Maskery - Capital and Coast, DHB](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062310/58ce631c1a28ab2f268b5df9/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
• “To use Nurse Practitioners in a purely substitutive way that simply shores up the existing model of medical care is a waste not just of NP talents but of the potential to transform the way we do things.”
Prof Jenny Carryer
