Bringing nurse practitioners across Israel together.
Strengthening the profession. Advancing accessible, high-quality, continuous care.
IANP was founded by nurse practitioners (NPs) who recognized the need for a united professional community, mutual support, and a shared national voice.
The Association connects NPs, strengthens the profession, and promotes accessible, high-quality, continuous care – from prevention and early detection to the management of complex chronic conditions.
We work with healthcare leaders, policymakers, and professional communities to advance the NP role responsibly, through evidence-based practice and in response to the needs of Israel’s population.
NPs combine clinical expertise, a whole-person perspective, and continuity of care. They support patients over time in both community and hospital settings.
IANP promotes education, professional development, and clinical resources that support advanced, evidence-based practice.
We work to improve timely access to professional care. NPs help reduce gaps and delays across the healthcare system.
A national network enables NPs to consult, share knowledge, and develop together - including those who are the only NP in their workplace.
IANP promotes greater understanding of the NP role and recognition of its contribution to the quality, safety, and outcomes of patient care.
Build a national professional community connecting NPs across specialties and healthcare settings.
Develop education, training, and clinical resources that support advanced, evidence-based practice.
Increase recognition and understanding of the NP role among healthcare professionals, institutions, and the public.
Promote professional standards that support patient safety, high-quality care, and improved health outcomes.
Expand the integration of NPs into areas where they can improve access and quality of care.
Strengthen the voice of NPs within the healthcare system through dialogue, collaboration, and responsible leadership.
We envision a healthcare system in which NPs are fully integrated, recognized, and supported. Patients should benefit from better access, coordinated care, and consistent follow-up.
We are building a connected and valued professional community, equipped with the knowledge and resources needed to provide excellent care.
IANP represents professionalism, compassion, and clinical excellence – advancing the health of people across Israel.
