Submission - Consultation on Draft Nurse Practitioner Programme
30 November 2010
This submission from NETS presents feedback from the consultation on the proposed Draft Nurse Practitioner Training Programme
Thank you for the opportunity to comment on this important document. We agree that the number of Nurse Practitioners in New Zealand is low, and that a funded developmental transition programme may assist with increasing numbers. In principle we support the concept of a funded developmental programme. However, we are concerned that the proposed training programme may, in fact, produce further barriers to prospective nurse practitioners.
