General Practice Nursing (GPN) is a key part of delivering safe, person centred and high quality care in a Primary Care setting.
Nursing in general practice is challenging, dynamic and rewarding. Many of these nurses work autonomously and in isolation. Therefore having easy access to a network of experienced nurses for educational advice and support is very important.
The NES Team includes:
GPN Education Pathway
NES offers a structured work-based blended education pathway to support the development of registered nurses employed in general practice nursing roles.
The GPN Education Pathway is delivered over 14 months via online facilitated learning sessions, directed and experiential work-based learning and is accredited by Queen Margaret University.
Further details on the GPN Education Pathway and how to apply can be found here.
