A message from an Emergency Medicine Consultant working with ANPs in ED
“Michelle, Antoinette and Caroline are cornerstones of our department. They work incredibly hard,
delivering expert care to patients every day. They are also a great resource to the department,
providing a wealth of experience and knowledge in the treatment of injuries and trauma. We are
lucky to be welcoming two new ANPs in Conor and Martin to our department, and look forward to
their further contribution”.Dr Conor Prendegast in Midlands Regional Hospital Tullamore.
More from Nursing Management on working with ANPs in ED
“The Advanced Nurse Practitioner (ANP) service in the Emergency Department provides
exceptional, patient-centred care. The ANPs demonstrate advanced clinical expertise,
professionalism, and compassion in every interaction. Their ability to assess, diagnose, and
manage a wide range of conditions ensures that patients receive timely and effective treatment.
The service greatly enhances patient flow, reduces waiting times, and maintains high standards
of safety and quality. The ANP team is an invaluable asset to the department and a true credit to
the organisation”Emma Fogarty CNM3 Emergency Department in Midlands Regional Hospital Tullamore.
Well done to the team of ANPs working in ED : RANPs Caroline Fraser, Michelle Barlow and Antoinette McIntyre, and cANPs Martin Mitchel and Conor Smith.
Happy Nurse Practitioner week to all our IAANMP members making a difference everyday to patients lives and improving access to healthcare.
