Representing Advanced Nurse
Midwife Practitioners

Our Story

In 2004, a small group of visionaries convened in the pillar room of the Mater Misericordiae University Hospital to address the growing need for Advanced Nurse Midwife Practitioners of all specialties to have a unified voice. The Irish Association of Advanced Nurse Midwife Practitioners (IAANMP) was consequently established to fill that need. Today IAANMP represent 572 Advanced Nurse Midwife Practitioner members from over 30 specialist areas. #strongertogether

The Association

Advanced Nurse Midwife Practitioners strengthen the health care workforce and maximise our health care potential. The IAANMP is committed to working with leaders in the public and private sector to improve health care for all. #strongertogether

The Committee

The IAANMP committee are all volunteer members who contribute their expertise in order to advance the mission and vision of the association.

The Constitution

The IAANMP is dedicated to advancing nursing knowledge and promoting the dissemination of information on Advanced Nurse Midwifery Practice. Our mission is to empower members to enhance the quality of healthcare through excellence in practice, education, advocacy, research, and leadership.

Position Statement

There are currently 1,204 Registered Advanced Nurse Practitioners (ANPs) (820 practising), and 40 Advanced Midwife Practitioners (AMPs) (26 practising) in Ireland (NMBI State of the Register 2025).
