The introduction of APN roles and APN care in primary care practices is new for everyone involved. Including APNs, primary care physicians and patients. The primary burden for this implementation process falls on APNs, but physicians are also involved. Therefore, pioneer APNs are supervised by experienced mentors during their role development process in primary care. This mentoring consists of weekly short phone calls and monthly structured evaluation interviews. In addition, mentors conduct quarterly structured interviews with primary care physicians. Depending on the needs that become clear in the various conversations, supportive activities by the mentors can follow, with the aim of ensuring the implementation of the planned intervention.
