What’s a Nurse Practitioner?

Nurse practitioners are registered nurses with advanced education and training in the diagnosis and management of common health conditions. They have the authority to prescribe medication and order diagnostic tests.

Nurse practitioners are focused on disease prevention and treat minor everyday ailments. Recently the Australian Government invested $2.1m in providing scholarships to help boost nurse practitioner numbers nationwide.

As can be seen from Clinic Services page they cover Urinary Tract and Bladder problems along with Prostate Serum Antigen Test (PSA test).Not sure if they are using Mediwatch products but just highlighting the growing possibilities and applications suited to their product range.
