The Advanced Practitioner in Primary Care is a timely resource that provides current and aspiring Advanced Practitioners (APs) with a practical roadmap for delivering high-quality, patient-centred care in complex and fast-paced primary care environments. Built on the four pillars of advanced practice—clinical practice, leadership, education, and research—this text supports practitioners in bridging the gap between academic theory and clinical application.
Written by experienced clinicians and educators, this book is framed by national and international guidelines—applicable to adult, paediatric, and mental health contexts—and reinforced by real-world case studies that contextualise concepts and build confidence in managing diverse clinical scenarios.
Providing the structured support and evidence-informed guidance necessary for confident, competent, and reflective practice, The Advanced Practitioner in Primary Care:
Covers complex consultation skills, clinical reasoning, systems-based clinical assessments, and decision-making with evidence-informed guidance
Addresses the management of uncertainty and diverse patient presentations, including frailty and paediatrics
Offers practical insights on getting the most from supervision and professional development pathways
Includes a dedicated chapter on prescribing and medication management tailored for APs
Discusses the evolving scope of the AP role in the context of local, national, and international policy
The Advanced Practitioner in Primary Care is essential reading for trainee and established APs working in primary care, as well as for nurses, paramedics, pharmacists, physiotherapists, and other professionals transitioning into general practice. It is also ideal for postgraduate programmes in advanced clinical practice and a valuable resource for educators and primary care teams supporting AP development.
