AGP Executive Report

Last update: 23 minutes ago

Nursing Autonomy Debate: Bermuda’s Ministry of Health is exploring possible changes to advanced practice nurse (APN) scope, but the Bermuda Medical Doctors Association opposes expanded powers while nurses’ groups back more autonomy—APNs can currently prescribe only with physician collaboration. Road Safety Push: Ministers have called an urgent, whole-of-government meeting after a run of serious road incidents, including arrests tied to impaired driving, as Bermuda responds to rising collision deaths and injuries. Heat & Mosquito Warnings: Forecasters say hot, humid weather with scattered storms continues, with very high UV and extreme mosquitoes—public health risks are expected to rise. Local Health Education & Scholarships: Bermuda awards public service scholarships to future professionals, and Allshores funds a $20,000 postgraduate medical scholarship for a student aiming to return as a cardiologist. Community Health Notes: A former district nurse and midwife says Bermuda is lagging other countries on APN autonomy, while separate coverage highlights opioid overdose recognition and rapid naloxone action by a clinician abroad. Food Policy Critique: Opinion pieces argue Bermuda’s sugar tax hasn’t reduced obesity and has worsened grocery costs, calling for repeal. In Memoriam: The death of respected dentist William Richard Cann is noted, including his long role with the Bermuda Dental Board.
