Commenting on the award, Erskine’s Director of Care, Derek Barron, said: “The introduction of an Advanced Nurse Practitioner at Erskine two years ago has been an innovative and successful project with positive outcomes for our residents. The ANP enables quicker intervention when the health of a resident deteriorates, we can reduce the impact of an acute illness, improve end of life care, and reduce our dependency upon local GP services and NHS 24.
