Saskatchewan launches initiative to expand NP roles, create 25 new positions, and pilot independently operated primary care clinics.

Saskatchewan is launching a new initiative to expand the role of nurse practitioners (NPs) and create 25 new positions over the next year. The province plans to pilot a new model for independently operated, publicly funded NP clinics, which will provide an additional avenue for patients to receive primary care services. These clinics aim to improve access to primary health care in rural, regional, and northern communities.
