Practice Nursing
Practice nurses work in a GP surgery as part of a primary healthcare team, which might include doctors, nurses, pharmacists and dietitians. A practice nurse will be involved in almost every aspect of patient care and treatment, undertaking such tasks as:
- treating small injuries
- helping with minor operations done under local anaesthetic
- health screening
- family planning
- running vaccination programmes (e.g. against flu)
- running programmes to help people to stop smoking.
We will shortly be adding a more in-depth case study of a practice nurse's work.
