The role:
The Nurse Practitioner/Transitional Nurse Practitioner (TNP/NP) at Warialda MPS plays a crucial role in enhancing emergency healthcare delivery.

This includes the immediate management of Triage 1 and Triage 2 cases and comprehensive assessment, treatment, and follow-up care for Triage 3, 4, and 5 cases.

Onsite support from local medical staff and management ensures a supportive environment for professional growth and excellence in patient care.
