Welcome to the Ingersoll Nurse Practitioner-Led Clinic Website!
In 2007 the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care announced the creation of 25 Nurse Practitioner-Led Clinics. The Clinics are targeted to be fully operational by the end of 2012. The Ingersoll Nurse Practitioner Led Clinic (Ingersoll NPLC) is slated to open December 12, 2011 in the new Ingersoll Centre For Health And Wellness.
Nurse Practitioner-Led Clinics are a new primary health care delivery model in which nurse practitioners are the lead providers of primary health care. Through a collaborative practice approach which will include registered practical nurses, health educators, a social worker and pharmacist, as well as collaborating family physicians, the Ingersoll NPLC will provide comprehensive, accessible, and coordinated family health care services to those who do not have access to a primary care provider. Nurse Practitioner Led Clinics improve the quality of care through enhanced health promotion, disease prevention and chronic disease management, as well as improving care co-ordination and navigation of the health care system at the local level.
