Nau Mai, Haere Mai
Welcome to the home of the Nurse Practitioner and Enrolled Nurse Workforce Programmes
NPs and ENs, with their different scopes of practice, deliver healthcare services that promote hauora (health and wellbeing) across our diverse communities in Aotearoa New Zealand. We need more of their skills and experience to focus on achieving health equity for Māori and Pacific peoples. Enabling the establishment of NP and EN roles offers considerable opportunity for the health sector to deliver integrated models of care that improve physical, mental, and community hauora.
