About Us
Nurse Practitioner Locum Solutions (NPLS) is a new innovative service able to deliver health care by senior, experienced and dedicated nurse practitioners. We have an extensive background in emergency and acute care, clinical leadership, research and academia. Our team have worked in all facets of emergency and generalist nursing streams and facilitate leadership among the health care team by role modelling clinical excellence and empowering staff to work at the best of their abilities.
We aim to deliver care where it is most needed and adapt services to suit the community requirements in rural and regional health services, whilst also passionately promoting the underutilised potential of the nurse practitioner role.
Our philosophy is to provide high quality, patient focused care by Nurse Practitioners to improve health outcomes for the patient, their family and the community.
We have a proven record of efficient and effective delivery of on call services to our existing clients.

TESTIMONIALS
We contacted NPLS to assist with our shortage of Medical Coverage for Urgent Care Services in our Regional location. NPLS provided fantastic service to our urgent care/hospital, the NP team were reliable. The NP team are thorough, understanding, compassionate and provide clear, concise care with a holistic approach. Their communication among the team as well as with patients is second to none and their ability to manage workflow and high workplace pressure should be commended.
We value the NPLS team and rate their work extremely highly, we hope to see them again soon.

NPLS has been excellent to deal with. Flexible and adaptable to changing needs. The quality of NPs is incredibly high – I would like to recognise Sue C. and Michelle W. They were exceptional, I received much feedback from other staff who heard her interactions with RACFs and were very impressed
