Consent to Care & Scope of Practice
This section outlines the framework of your care at Living Spring Medical Clinic. Please review before signing below.
Scope of practice of a Nurse Practitioner (NP)
In Alberta, Nurse Practitioners are independent primary care providers registered with the College of Registered Nurses of Alberta (CRNA). They are fully authorized to:
Diagnose and treat acute and chronic illnesses.
Order and interpret screening tests, lab work, X-rays, MRIs, and ultrasounds.
Prescribe medications, including controlled substances and narcotics.
Refer patients directly to medical specialists and community health programs.
Patient rights and responsibilities
Mutual respect — we provide a safe, non-judgmental environment and expect patients to treat our staff with courtesy and respect.
Active collaboration — you have the right to make informed choices about your care; your NP will discuss treatment benefits, risks, and alternatives with you.
Accuracy — you agree to provide honest, complete information about your health history and lifestyle to ensure safe prescribing and treatment.
I acknowledge that I understand the scope of practice of a Nurse Practitioner and voluntarily consent to receive primary healthcare services from the NPs at this clinic.
