Advanced Practice Nurses (APN) are a desirable career path for nurses in over 70 countries around the world. Services provided by highly qualified nurses are safe for patients and bring systemic economic benefits. APN in wound care is most visible in Australia. The implementation of the APN concept began in 2013 at the Specialist Hospital in Wejherowo, where the first APN Nurse position in Poland was created in the field of chronic wound and pressure ulcer management.
