Nursing in general practice is a dynamic, rewarding, and vibrant sector of the nursing profession. The nursing speciality offers a range of experiences and provides the opportunity to be part of a small clinical team, meeting the diverse primary care needs of the community. Nursing in general practice is a shift from a hospital-based environment to a small business environment embedded in the local community.
General practice nurses work in collaboration with general practitioners to provide a range of services.
With a focus on the primary healthcare sector, general practice nurses are increasingly exerting a critical role in delivering continuity of care to their patients, improving their health outcomes.
