But how many GPs would accept the terms and conditions GPNs get ? General practice is suppose to be a team- can either manage without the other?

With Devon & Somerset LMC GPNs talking to them about #nursingworkforcestandards and how they can be applied in general practice Joyce Pickering Wendy Preston

Celebrating Achievements - Joseph went to Scout Camp this weekend - he did canoeing, the cave wall, the obstacle course and the low ropes. He camped in a tent with two other scouts which can be a real challenge for him. Joseph also went to the noisey camp fire. Well done Joseph!

Couldn’t agree more! RCN GPN Forum 💙 . ARRS and NA cannot replace the skill and expertise of a well trained GPN. Shocked that CQC have put this in their report!

Nursing associates need to be supervised by registered nurses - beyond words ! Under valued and invisible - general practice will miss our skills when we are home you reap what you sow 😢

Nursing in Practice The CQC need to read the Sonnet report! GPN’s are an integral part of Primary Care. We are highly skilled, leaders of change and specialists in our field. Becky Wych louise brady RN 💙 💚 Emma de C corrie llewellyn Heather Randle

louise brady RN 💙 💚 Sara Baldwin 💙 Nursing in Practice Becky Wych Emma de C corrie llewellyn Heather Randle Care Quality Commission And I will be truly delighted to see a Chief Nurse at CQCProf I had a look at the Board and there isn’t a RN in sight- cqc.org.uk/about-us/our-b… but one, two or three medics. Interesting when we are the largest regulated HCP globally. Very happy to chat any time. Miss #Ursula ☹️

GPNs now is the time to arm yourself with information and plan for pay equity with GP colleagues and B NHS colleagues! The BMA louise brady RN 💙 💚

1/2. 900+ responses to our pay survey! Tell us about your pay award and the level of pay award you received in 2023. We’ll share feedback with LMC and the BMA to build awareness of the current inequity and lack of funding for nursing pay. This is an issue that must be resolved.

As #RCN survey shows #GPNs continue to miss out on pay award - what action needs to be taken? @rcngpnforum @wegpns @BAME_GPNs @GPNCARE louise brady RN 💙 💚 @PVNursing 💙GPN Student and Nurse Network🌈 @TheQNi @STN_JW2021 teamCNO 💙 Heather Randle rcni.com/primary-health…

@RCNi_Julie RCN GPN Forum 💙 @WeGPNs @GPNCARE 💙GPN Student and Nurse Network🌈 The Queen's Nursing Institute @STN_JW2021 teamCNO 💙 Heather Randle 1/ The essential role of #GPNs in strengthening and transforming patient care and population health must be recognised in practice, policy and education.

@RCNi_Julie RCN GPN Forum 💙 @WeGPNs @GPNCARE 💙GPN Student and Nurse Network🌈 The Queen's Nursing Institute @STN_JW2021 teamCNO 💙 Heather Randle 2/ This means cutting the ‘Gordian Knot’ and ensuring long term sustainable investment into CORE #GeneralPracticeNursing services.

@RCNi_Julie RCN GPN Forum 💙 @WeGPNs @GPNCARE 💙GPN Student and Nurse Network🌈 The Queen's Nursing Institute @STN_JW2021 teamCNO 💙 Heather Randle 3/ This is a workforce that has been calling for parity in terms and conditions for two decades. Sustainable and protected investment needed into global sum in GP contract for nursing salaries, and benefits aligned to secondary care colleagues.

@RCNi_Julie RCN GPN Forum 💙 @WeGPNs @GPNCARE 💙GPN Student and Nurse Network🌈 The Queen's Nursing Institute @STN_JW2021 teamCNO 💙 Heather Randle 4/ #GeneralPracticeNurses provide excellence in relational whole family care from cradle to grave, alongside their salaried GP counterparts. Access to Maternity and Paternity pay and above levels of statutory sick pay is critical for this highly skilled and dedicated workforce

Hope you can join us tonight or next Monday RCN GPN Forum 💙
