Advanced nurse practitioners – an RCN guide to the advanced nurse practitioner role, competencies and programme accreditation (February 2008)
The nurse practitioner role is becoming more prevalent, with increasing numbers of nurse practitioners now working in secondary and tertiary care settings such as A&E departments, minor injury units, medical assessment units and within specialties such as paediatrics and oncology. The term advanced nurse practitioner (ANP) is increasingly being used in the UK to acknowledge the advanced level of the role, the scope of practice and its associated competencies. This revised publication is divided into three main sections and includes a definition of the ANP role, the RCN's revised domains and competencies for ANPs in the UK, and the standards which collaborating higher education institutions must meet for their ANP educational programmes to receive RCN accreditation.
