The Nurse Practitioner provides direct care (including inpatient care) and partners with other members of the health care team for the achievement of the most appropriate and timely care for patients. Working autonomously or in collaboration with other members of the team, the Nurse Practitioner provides care for and monitors the physical/biologic, psychologic, spiritual needs of patients and integrates these into holistic care plans engaging as appropriate with family, community, and other agencies/services.
Nurse Practitioners are accountable to and ensure their practice is consistent with, both the Nova Scotia College of Nursing Standards of Practice for Registered Nurses and Nurse Practitioners, as well as the Canadian Nurses Association’s Code of Ethics for Registered Nurses. Nurse Practitioners are accountable for providing safe, competent, compassionate, and ethical care within their legislated scope of practice, educational preparation, and individual competence, and to engage in professional development and educational activities to develop and maintain competence meeting role requirements and care needs. Nurse Practitioners are responsible and accountable for their own practice consistent with relevant legislation, and professional, and ethical standards.
The Nurse Practitioner ensures that the principles and practices that guide Nova Scotia Health such as the vision, mission, values, expected behaviors, leadership philosophy, organizational health, population health, ethics, safety, quality, partnerships, and interdisciplinary collaboration are integrated within the work that they do and through the messages they deliver.

WellFort Community Health Services is a values-based, non-profit, multi-service organization committed to reducing barriers to care and improving the health of our communities.

HOMELESS HEALTH PROGRAM
The Homeless Health Program is a Nurse Practitioner-led initiative that provides essential healthcare services to individuals who are homeless, precariously housed, or transitioning out of homelessness in the Peel Region.
