Position Statement
General Practice Nurse 2021
The General Practice Nurse position statement has been updated and outlines the valuable and integral role of practice nurses as part of the general practice health care team.
The role of the General Practice Nurse (GPN) is complementary to that of the general practitioner. It can vary according to the specific needs of the practice, the qualifications and specific skills of the GPN, and the needs of the local community that the practice serves.
The position statement promotes and provides guidance on the establishment of clear and agreed practice protocols and communication systems for the role of the GPN within the practice.
