Role Title:
Candidate Advanced Nurse Practitioner (cANP): Emergency Minor Illness

Job Reference Number:

Closing Date:
Monday, 27th October 2025

Purpose of the Role:

The main purpose of the cANP post is to develop the job description and supporting documentation under the direction of the Health Care Provider's Advanced Practice Stakeholder Governance Group, to enable the individual nurse to meet the NMBI Criteria for Registration as an Advanced Nurse Practitioner as set out in Advanced Practice (Nursing) Standards and Requirements (NMBI, 2017).

The post holder will work throughout the department, identifying patients in the post triage phase of care suitable for the ambulatory stream.

The post holder will be responsible for the development of pathways for ambulatory presentations.

The role will collaborate with the emergency nursing and emergency medicine team. The post holder will work primarily in the ambulatory stream with a high degree of collaboration with the SIFT/triage team. The role will focus on seeing, diagnosing, and treating ambulatory presentations, for example, but not limited to minor medical and surgical conditions, urological conditions, and post exposure prophylaxis. Along with this, the development of further pathways for ambulatory presentations.

The post holder will be responsible for the service audit and the development of KPIs.

The individual will undertake the academic preparation and develop the clinical and leadership skills, competencies, and knowledge required to meet the criteria to be registered as a RANP with NMBI. The scope of the cANP role must reflect the incremental development of expertise and as such, the cANP cannot deliver care as an autonomous practitioner.

The individual will complete and submit the necessary documentation for registration as an RANP with NMBI.

The value of the nursing contribution as a distinct profession must be safeguarded and articulated in the development of new services led by advanced nurse practitioners, complementing rather than replacing current services delivered by doctors (NMBI 2017 p.9).

The overall purpose of the post is to provide safe, timely, evidenced based nurse-led care to patients at an advanced nursing level. This involves undertaking and documenting a complete episode of patient care (assess, diagnose, plan, treat, and discharge patients) according to collaboratively agreed protocols and scope of practice in the clinical setting; demonstrating advanced clinical and theoretical knowledge, critical thinking, clinical leadership, and decision making skills.

The advanced practice role demonstrates a high degree of knowledge, skill, and experience which is applied within the nurse-patient/client relationship to achieve optimal outcomes through critical analysis, problem solving, and accurate decision-making (NMBI, 2017).

Central to this is the provision of quality care, a safe environment, and processes for patients by the use of evidence based clinical guidelines which address patient expectations, promote wellness, and evaluate care given.

The role will provide clinical leadership and professional scholarship in order to develop nursing practice and health policy at local, regional, and national level.

The role will contribute to nursing research to shape and advance nursing practice, education and health care policy at local, national, and international levels.

The role is also focused on nursing development, providing nursing support and education, fostering inquiry, and innovative nursing practices.

Required:

• Be a Registered Nurse on the NMBI's Active Register or entitled to be so registered.

And

• Be registered in the division of NMBI's Active Register for which the application is being made or in recognition of services which span several patient/client groups and/or registrations, provide evidence of validated competencies relevant to the context of practice.

Or

In recognition of services that span several patient/client groups and/or divisions(s) of the register, provide evidence of validated competencies relevant to the context of practice.

And

• Have a broad base of clinical experience relevant to the advanced field of practice.

And

And

• Candidates must possess the requisite knowledge and ability including a high standard of suitability and clinical, professional and administrative capacity to properly discharge the functions of the role.
