Nurse Practitioner Primary Care Clinics are a model of care developed and led by nurse practitioners. Within these clinics, team-based care is provided by nurse practitioners, registered nurses and allied health providers such as mental health counsellors and social workers, who work together to support the everyday healthcare needs of patients over the course of their lives.
A nurse practitioner can:
- Act as the primary care provider for you and your family, similar to a family physician
- Help you manage and improve your physical and mental health
- Conduct medical and physical assessments
- Order and interpret tests, such as medical imaging and bloodwork
- Diagnose medical conditions
- Prescribe medications and write orders
- Complete disability, ICBC, WorkSafeBC, and extended health benefits forms
- Conduct minor procedures such as intrauterine device (IUD) insertion, removal of lesions, and tissue biopsies
- Refer you to medical specialists of any type
- Work with physicians, nurses, pharmacists, mental health counsellors and other providers to ensure you receive the best care
- Work in a hospital and more specialized settings across a continuum of care
About nurse practitioners
Nurse practitioners are registered nurses who have completed master’s-level clinical education which enables them to blend nursing and medical knowledge to lead and coordinate your care, diagnose and treat medical conditions, order and interpret tests, prescribe medications, and refer to specialists.
