@RCNGPNForum @martinmckee @louisebrady17 Has someone mixed NA with GPN 😱 This is horrendously inaccurate 😡😡😡😡

Well that is a highly inaccurate and trivalising description for GPNs @martinmckee Makes us wonder if the authors have actually read reports such as Sonnet Report or even understand enhanced nursing roles or are still stuck in the 1960s. @louisebrady17 sonnetimpact.co.uk/publications/l…

@cn150 @ObserverUK Just started reading 'Science Fictions' which also points this out.

Very concerning from @ObserverUK - ‘The situation has become appalling’: fake scientific papers push research credibility to crisis point. Where does that leave secondary research such as systematic reviews and integrative reviews? theguardian.com/science/2024/f…

@PUNC18_Lee @nursegow @alisonleary1 @annie2w @WITHforwomen And then the conversation I'm doing the same as the practice nurses so why are they paid more. Task based then with no appreciation of the critical thinking, level of knowledge understanding and applying evidence based care...

@nursegow @alisonleary1 @annie2w @WITHforwomen Fragmentation of care Fragmentation of care Fragmentation of care. I keep saying it, but it still carries on. There is no value in these “cheap and easy” “bums on seats” roles. Many studies show non-continuity = worse outcomes. Yet here we are, and here we continue.

@louisebrady17 @gillboast @RachelV1g_RN @WeGPNs @StaffsTH @StaffsStokeICB @StaffsStokeICS @PCnursePioneers What stands out to me is the numbers of new nurses on these courses. Highlighting the new for support and education to allow more nurses to flourish as GPN's😍 I would argue we need more...

1/ Fantastic time in Staffordshire at the #GPNSchool learning with new #GeneralPracticeNurses Hours and hours of dedicated educational provided programmes delivered to our next generation of Nurses. Thanks to our committed & brilliant nurse educators @gillboast @RachelV1g_RN ❤️

@BenAllenGP Growing evidence of hearing loss and dementia. Locally patients are having long ways or paying £50 per ear to have the wax removed.

🌟So important to commission & fund this properly🌟 GP can do this. But we can't do it unfunded. Patients can get frustrated when they believe this to be a GPs role. It needs funding for it to be so. Hearing loss is serious & it is cheap considering this. bbc.co.uk/news/health-68…

@NurseinPractice 1/ A highly skilled #nursing workforce, delivering in excess of 84 million appointments / consultations per year. 53% of this workforce do not receive any maternity or paternity pay from their employers as this is yet to be negotiated within the GP contract @doctor_katie

@louisebrady17 @NursingEmma @WeCommNurses @WeGPNs @RCNGPNForum @CoxonGeorge @CallardGeorgie @PCnursePioneers @TheQNI Looking amazing 🤩 fantastic news

Clarion call.. @teamcno 📢Calling #Primary & #CommunityNurses 2 contribute to the development of level 6 accreditation of an academic module to support clinical practice across neighbourhoods. We are funding this initiative with education for health in February. @NursingEmma

@Megan_Ford97 @TheQNI @CrystalOldman All the recent recruitment has been with nurses new to GP practice. All needing support of the foundation course😪 the fellowship enabled preceptorship for newly qualified so short sighted

@TheQNI @CrystalOldman Practice nurse Magenta Franklin, who works in Hythe, is currently halfway through a GPN fellowship programme and says she would ‘be completely lost without it’ nursinginpractice.com/latest-news/nh…

NHSE is set to 'close' national GPN retention schemes The move has been met with outrage by nurse leaders who fear such schemes will be put at risk and that the situation could ultimately have a negative impact on the GPN workforce. nursinginpractice.com/latest-news/nh…

@EmmaThompsonWeb @louiseberwick @CathyWinfield @ralanshirley It's so sad to see the GPN role overlooked and undervalued😪

It makes no sense to cut funding for this - South Yorkshire’s well established award winning GPN VTS programme will also be cut. This means that there will be no training for GPNs in South Yorkshire. How can this be right? @louiseberwick @CathyWinfield @ralanshirley
