A nurse practitioner is a registered nurse with significant additional and advanced education, clinical experience and endorsement from the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Australia. Nurse practitioners provide comprehensive assessment, diagnosis and management within their individual scope of practice, and work both independently and collaboratively with other health professionals.

MindShift Clinical Consulting provides nurse practitioner consultations within its defined scope of practice, with a focus on mental health, physical health considerations and lifestyle factors that may affect wellbeing.

Each appointment considers your individual needs, health history, current concerns, goals and appropriate care options. If your needs are outside the practice’s scope, you may be advised to see, or be referred to, another suitable health professional or service.

A GP referral is not always required; however, referrals and collaboration with your GP or other health professionals may be appropriate depending on your circumstances, consent and the type of service needed.

Your initial consultation involves a discussion of your current concerns, relevant health history, medications, supports, lifestyle factors and personal priorities. With your agreement, the nurse practitioner will work with you to develop an appropriate plan and discuss any follow-up, referrals or other care options that may be relevant

A nurse practitioner may prescribe medicines within their individual scope of practice and in accordance with relevant Commonwealth, NSW and professional requirements. Not every medicine, treatment or request will be clinically appropriate, and a consultation and assessment are required before prescribing decisions are made.

Within their scope of practice, nurse practitioners may request and interpret relevant diagnostic or screening investigations and make or accept referrals when clinically appropriate. This may include working with GPs, psychiatrists, psychologists, pharmacists, allied health professionals and other services.
