There were 3 ANPs at this practice - they all did asthma, two of them did diabetes, one did a COPD clinic and I think one did a CHD clinic. Also, one of them did regular visits to all of the practice’s assigned care homes.
They didn’t deal with mental health at all. That was solely the reserve of GPs.
I don’t know exactly how much training they received, but the check up consultations were very formulaic - they followed a pre-prepared template on the computer system, telling them what questions to ask, to record B.P,, weight, height, BMI etc.
