The Nurse in Practice program is designed to:

  • allow family physicians (FPs), nurse practitioners (NPs), registered nurses (RNs) and licensed practical nurses (LPNs) to work to their full scope of practice
  • increase capacity for larger patient panels, which means primary care providers can provide longitudinal care to more people
  • support primary care provider and nurse satisfaction while providing care

For patients, that means:

  • more timely access to primary care services
  • improved follow-up care and care coordination
  • improved patient care quality and health outcomes​
