1. We are pleased to have the following Advanced Nurse Practitioner employed by the practice:

2. Mr Purcelle L Davidson BSc, MSc, RGN, RMN.

3. An Advanced Nurse Practitioner (ANP) is a registered nurse who has completed specific advanced nursing education (generally a master's degree or doctoral degree) and training in the diagnosis and management of common as well as a few complex medical conditions. Nurse Practitioners provide a broad range of health care services.

4. Nurse Practitioners treat both acute and chronic conditions through comprehensive history taking, physical exams, physical therapy, ordering tests and therapies for patients, within their scope of practice. ANPs can serve as a patient's "point of entry" health care provider, and see patients of all ages depending on their designated scope of practice.
