What is a Nurse Practitioner?

They are nurses with advanced training who can do many of the same things as doctors, like diagnosing and treating illnesses or prescribing medicine. Primary care providers focus on your overall health and connect you to other healthcare services when needed.

In order to join our Nurse Practitioner Primary Care Clinic, you must be willing to accept and comply with the following conditions, which enable us to provide you better integrated care across the health system:

• Your primary care needs will be provided by a team of health care providers which are led by a Nurse Practitioner, and may involve other healthcare team members.
• You are willing to participate in our chronic disease management programs, where you care may be provided by a team of allied health providers.
• Medical learners may be involved in your care.
• Your personal health care information and sociodemographic information may be shared with other members and organizations of an Ontario Health Team such as North York Toronto Health Partners.
• Your medical record data may be used for quality improvement research, and health system monitoring, planning, management and evaluation.
• You will notify us when you have found a permanent family doctor or alternate nurse practitioner clinic elsewhere.
