Our CNSs are advanced practice nurses who can provide advice related to specific conditions or treatment pathways. They have acquired the expert knowledge base, complex decision-making skills and clinical competencies for expanded practice. They are clinical experts within a specialty area, treating and managing the health concerns of patients.
They practice autonomously and integrate their knowledge of disease and medical treatments into the assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of patients’ illnesses. They design, implement, and evaluate a patient–specific program of care.
Our PCN has CNS clinics for our complex diabetes and respiratory patients.
