Role of NP in Fiji
Designed to make comprehensive health services accessible, affordable and acceptable to all members of society
Nursing personnel constitute largest component of professional health workers and often provide cost-effective health services to outlying communities

Conceptual Framework
Based on Yanuca Declaration of Health Islands using New Horizons for Health
NPs offers a practical solution to increase accessibility to quality primary care in communities
NPs have proven cost-effective both i terms of cost of training and salaries
Further savings realised as early intervention and prevention keeps patients out of hospital
