She expressed that one of the very important factors is our communication skill. Also, the relationship management skill with our co-workers and competency in clinical skills plays a significant role. She briefly discussed about Advanced Nurse Practitioner (ANP) course and requirements to work in the UK. A total of 80 participants attended the session. It was a useful and interactive session that could permit the participants to compare and relate with the standards existing in our country.
