About the Role

Advanced Nurse Practitioners in Primary Care

Advanced Nurse Practitioners (ANPs) are registered nurses who have completed advanced clinical training, enabling them to assess, diagnose, treat, and manage patients autonomously — often performing many of the same clinical functions as a GP within primary care.

ANPs are among the most in-demand roles in primary care, particularly as ARRS funding has expanded PCN staffing budgets and practices look to extend access and manage patient demand.

  • Independent prescribing capability
  • Autonomous assessment & diagnosis
  • ARRS-eligible — reimbursed through PCN funding
  • GP surgery, PCN, OOH & urgent care settings
  • Locum and salaried positions UK-wide

Why SHR Group

The Primary Care Nursing Specialists

We understand the difference between an ANP and a Practice Nurse. Our consultants know the ARRS funding rules, the NMC requirements, and what PCNs actually need.

ARRS & PCN Experts

We understand ARRS funding rules and PCN staffing models — which means we match ANPs to roles where their scope of practice and funding eligibility actually align.

NMC Compliance Managed

NMC pin, DBS, indemnity, prescribing qualifications, and right-to-work — all verified before your first session. We handle the compliance paperwork so you don't have to.

Fast Placement

Emergency locum ANP cover arranged within hours. Salaried roles matched to your specialty, prescribing status, and preferred clinical settings.

Best ANP Rates

We benchmark ANP locum and salaried rates weekly — always negotiating to get you the best deal for your level of qualification and experience.

NHS Framework Approved

Direct NHS bookings through approved procurement frameworks — more PCNs and Trusts can access our ANP network without off-contract risk.

Long-Term Relationships

Many of our ANPs and Practice Nurses have worked with the same SHR consultant for years. We build relationships that last beyond a single placement.
