Non GP practitioners

The request was successful.

Dear NHS Manchester Clinical Commissioning Group,

how many gp surgeries are members of your ccg.

do they employ nurse practitioners or advanced nurse practitioners to consult with and assess patients?

how do you check on their accreditation to perform such important and high risk roles?

are there cases where nurses have been working as advanced nurse practitioners without the requisite and recognised training and accreditation?

how often does the ccg check to ensure all staff working in and for your CCG, to asses and treat your patients , are appropriately qualified?

Which director at the CCG is responsible for oversight of and maintaining this important quality standard

How many practices are utilising the services of pharmacists, physician associates, ANP and NP roles to perform patient consultations and assessments instead of them being performed by a qualified GP.

How are you ensuring that they are adequately qualified?

In some cases nurses are providing on-call services for gp practices. What are your guidelines and safeguards if any, for such practice?

is it a criminal offence to assess and treat a patient in a clinical role without having the requisite training and accreditation ? (as an example, a practice nurse assessing ill children or pregnant patients without being a qualified advanced nurse practitioner)

Yours faithfully,

Gillian Lansley
