Pressure in Advanced Nurse Practitioner (ANP) Jobs
GPs’ workload has increased significantly in recent years affecting their ability to provide high-quality services, and consequently, there is an increasing focus on nurses to provide a solution. There is little evidence of how Advanced Nurse Practitioner (ANP) experience their role in practices and hospitals, and it is important to understand their perceptions of this and the challenges they may face in supporting service development and improvement within the healthcare industry.
The Problem
There is not just one problem but a collection of problems that have brought this issues upon ANP’s. We will start with the dwindling numbers of GP’s that decrease year on year. Then there is the other end of the system and the increasing population but also the rise in average age of the population. Finally, there is a lacking amount of resources trying to recruit GP’s and nurses in general.
The bottom line is this, all healthcare professionals are feeling the pressure of the current system. With the increasing pressure, there is a change and development in an ANP’s job and the needs placed on them. ANP jobs are at their highest demand since their roles began, to keep on top of the increasing demand there is one obvious solution.
The Solution
Becoming a locum ANP helps relieve some of the strain that is being forced upon the role. ANP jobs are in high demand to the point where AppLocum can provide consistent and constant work for any locum ANP’s.
Taking locum ANP jobs gives ANP’s a chance to rest and recover when they need it the most, to ensure they are not overworked to provide the best quality of care possible. This can counteract the extra pressures of the developing role and with the constant high demand, ANP’s can choose to work in one surgery or several depending on their needs and preferences.
The role of the ANP will keep on developing but at AppLocum we are determined to make all of our locums feel valued. If you want to try locum work or switch locum agencies to one who cares and listens then get in contact with one of our senior consultants to find out more.

Within two days, I was registered and ready for work with a regular contract arranged by Matthew. When this contract ended Matthew provided me with great support and boosted my confidence enough to help me take a step up in my nursing role. He is a true credit to AppLocum and always maintains a highly professional service.

I would recommend AppLocum! Matthew is always so helpful and great at getting shifts sorted quick and fast. The whole process was smooth and easy starting my set up at AppLocum. Matthew always keeps in touch to inform you what is going on with each job. Best agency out there!

You have helped me so much throughout 2019 coming into 2020. Its been a hard year for everyone but you made sure I had work no matter what the circumstances were, you motivated me so much to apply for my [NMC] pin. You improved my skills and knowledge within these 2 years and I wouldn't have done it without you.

I have worked for AppLocum for three years now and they are fantastic to work for! They are like one big family! They really take the time to get to know you personally, and are so supportive from the compliance officers to the nurse consultants! They are easily accessible and really care about their ANP's.

I have been delighted by the commitment of the AppLocum team in finding me long term work during this difficult time and the communication has been superb. I started working with the team a few weeks ago and have had more work than with my usual two agencies.

It was the best experience I have ever had, having been through the same process with other agencies many times before. Obviously, I was hesitant at first having had my own personal experiences with agencies but I soon got a good feeling about this one. Very personal and friendly approach.

I have recently changed my locum provider and the service I receive is excellent There is always a quick response for any requirements and queries I have. A practice managers role is very hectic and having a reliable locum agency takes so much pressure off our working day.
