APNA welcomes the announcement of a #NursePractitioner Team-based Care Program. This is a progressive pilot placing more skilled NPs where health care is needed. We look forward to working with the C'wealth & WA Govts on this pilot. #primaryhealthcare #nurses #valued #visible

We're working with the WA Government to make it easier for people to receive high quality health care from a nurse practitioner, when and where they need it.

The Nurse Practitioner and Team Based Care Pilot will fund nurse practitioners who will work both autonomously and in collaboration with other health practitioners to diagnose and treat a wide range of health conditions - and their services will be free to patients.

Tick. Tick. Tick. Also finally real recognition that nurse practitioners provide quality healthcare. Removal of collaborative arrangements, inclusion in MBS rebate increase and MyMedicare. Great achievements for a first term government, with more to come. #ACNPnational

Exciting reading, a great write up of the Australian NP role on page 45, and in Chapter 23. A fascinating look at the global development of advanced practice roles. @nursehelms #ACNPnational
