Abstract
This article examines the role of the district nurse advanced nurse practitioner and its contribution to the transformation of district nursing services. Primary care is under increasing pressure to bridge the gap between demand and resources, with national and local priorities focusing on frailty and unscheduled care. This article outlines the implementation of the district nurse advanced nurse practitioner role within NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde and presents findings from a local evaluation. By exploring the impact across the four pillars of advanced practice-clinical practice, research and development, facilitation of learning and leadership-the early findings suggest that this innovative role has had a transformational impact on optimising primary care provision and reducing avoidable hospital admissions for patients on a district nursing caseload. Further research into this role is necessary to ensure that its contribution is comprehensively measured, strengthening the case for recognising this highly skilled role as a key player in NHS Scotland's primary and community health care systems.
