• This paper reports the preliminary results of research investigating the factors that help or hinder advanced nurse practitioners as they attempt to implement new roles in clinical practice. • Multiple facilitating and inhibiting factors are identified, the majority of which are shared across various clinical settings. • Factors fall into three categories: re‐negotiating relationships; becoming an advanced practitioner; and the clinical context and deployment. • Whilst the results of this case study research are not necessarily generalizable, they provide evidence of the lived experience of advanced nurse practitioners attempting to implement new roles in a variety of clinical settings following their graduation from a Master's degree programme.
