Welcome to Nurse Practitioners New Zealand
Advancing Healthcare Across Aotearoa
Welcome to Nurse Practitioners New Zealand (NPNZ), an organisation dedicated to advancing the practice of Mātanga Tapuhi/Nurse Practitioners throughout Aotearoa New Zealand. Our Nurse Practitioners are highly skilled autonomous health practitioners with advanced education and clinical training. They have the legal authority to practice beyond the level of a registered nurse, providing care for people with both common and complex conditions. Many of our Nurse Practitioners work in primary care, where they may be the lead health care provider for health consumers and their families/whānau. Join us as we strive to provide better, sooner, more convenient care, and honest and respectful partnerships.
