In each issue of the journal we speak to general practice nurses and hear what they have to say about their role
in primary care.
What is a typical day for you?
For the last six months l have been the only general practice nurse (GPN), whereas previously there were two of us. Despite interviews, it has been difficult to recruit anyone and we are now trying to get an advanced practitioner. I find that it now takes just as long for patients to see me, as it does the doctors.
Success!
