4 I hope there is some renewed energy support and appetite to meaningfully support communities with this new #GPcontract, and this includes those #Nurses in our workforce who make the absolute difference day in and day out.

Some of the rhetoric around Nurses losing their jobs in NHSE & ICBโ€™s is harmful. Telling people to โ€˜get back to grassroots and hands onโ€™ Nursing. Non clinical roles are not worth less. 1/3

โ€œSupport staff do immensely important work that must be respected and valued in its own right. But โ€˜nurseโ€™ must always mean nurse. This is not nothing; it is everything.โ€ Flavia Munn

1/ Government expects 2025/26 pay awards to be passed on to practice nurses nursinginpractice.com/latest-news/goโ€ฆ #GeneralPracticeNurses have been been advocating for fairness, equality & parity within this space, and negotiating on an individual basis with GP employers for nearly 3 decades.

3/ Patient safety & the quality of care that RNs offer in #Generalpractice should never be just a โ€˜priorityโ€™ it should be a โ€˜ preconditionโ€™ to cultural & structural reform cc Helen Anderson PhD RN QN

Helen Anderson PhD RN QN 5/ Three salient questions for those employed by #GPs Are you treated with dignity & respect as an employee? As Nurses Are you given the educational tools & training you need to give meaning and purpose to your work? Are you recognised for your contribution to General Practice?

Helen Anderson PhD RN QN 6/ Resident doctors are discussing strike action, and yet this is a nursing workforce who donโ€™t even have above statuary sick pay, maternity or paternity pay embedded nationally within the GP contract Wes Streeting This must be a priority for patient safety.

Helen Anderson PhD RN QN Wes Streeting 7Empirical evidence demonstrates that patients families & carers value the therapeutic relationships that our nurses offer in #GeneralPractice across the life course. And yet.. this nursing workforce must rely on employers to โ€˜ pass onโ€™ an uplifts to T& C of employment.

Helen Anderson PhD RN QN Wes Streeting 8/ This will hamper the aspirations of the 10year plan. We need to see a financial ring fenced firm commitment from GP employers in support of nursing staff now.. to make the tangible difference for the future.

Helen Anderson PhD RN QN Wes Streeting 9/ Government ministers together with the General Practice need to step in now with a firm commitment as outlined in the 10 year plan in support of the #Generalpracticenursing workforce. This would include above stat sick & maternity pay for nursing employees, encompassing annual uplifts
