Emergency ANP forum for IAANMP
The Emergency ANP Forum was established in July 2013 to support the implementation of the recommendations outlined in ‘A Guide to Enhance Advanced Nurse Practitioner Services across Emergency Care Networks in Ireland’ and to address the CPD needs of ANPs. It comprises all RANPs, ANP candidates and other ED nurses who are undertaking an education pathway towards registration as an ANP. The ANP Forum Committee which operates under a terms of reference agreed by the wider forum group comprises of representative RANPs from urban, rural, adult ED, mixed EDs, Paediatric ED and IUs. The Forum has 3 main work streams – Continuing Professional Development; ANP service activity/metrics/key performance indicators; Research and innovation. The Forum also serves as a means to collaborate. The pandemic pushed us towards less national CPD days and more online training or more local training. With the surge in ANPs in EDs and IUs many are forming their own local and regional support groups.
