Celebrating Advanced Practice Week: 9th -15th November 2025

Honouring Excellence, Leadership, and Innovation in Advanced Practice

Advanced Practice Week takes place from 10th to 16th November 2025, offering an important opportunity to celebrate the exceptional contributions of Advanced Nurse Practitioners (ANPs) and Advanced Midwife Practitioners (AMPs) across Ireland. This week recognises the expertise, leadership, autonomous and compassionate care that define advanced practice, and the vital role ANPs and AMPs play in enhancing patient outcomes, advancing clinical standards, and shaping the future of healthcare.

Championing Advanced Practice in Ireland

The Irish Association of Advanced Nurse and Midwife Practitioners (IAANMP) proudly celebrates Advanced Practice Week, joining our members, colleagues, and advanced practice communities across Ireland and internationally in recognising the excellence and impact of ANPs and AMPs in healthcare.

As a national representative body for Advanced Practitioners, the IAANMP is committed to:

  • Promoting clinical excellence and professional recognition for ANPs and AMPs.
  • Supporting networking, mentorship, and continuous professional development.
  • Influencing policy and contributing to workforce planning.
  • Providing opportunities for research, collaboration, and leadership in practice.

The Impact of Advanced Practitioners

Advanced Nurse and Midwife Practitioners are highly skilled, autonomous clinicians who deliver expert assessment, diagnosis, treatment, and management across all areas of healthcare.

Their advanced knowledge and clinical decision-making improve access to care, reduce waiting times, and enhance outcomes through safe, evidence-based, and person-centred practice.

Whether working in acute hospitals, community settings, general practice, mental health, or specialist services, ANPs and AMPs are leaders in clinical innovation, patient advocacy, and quality improvement, making a measurable difference every day.

Looking Ahead: Leading Change and Innovation

As healthcare evolves, ANPs and AMPs are at the forefront of transformation, embracing digital health, research, artificial intelligence, and multidisciplinary collaboration to deliver high-quality, accessible care.

The IAANMP remains dedicated to supporting members through education, mentorship, and professional development, ensuring that advanced practitioners continue to shape and influence the future of healthcare in Ireland.

During Nurse Practitioner Week, we acknowledge and celebrate every Advanced Nurse and Midwife Practitioner for your dedication, expertise, and leadership. Your contribution to patient care, education, and clinical excellence exemplifies the very best of nursing and midwifery practice.
