This report is the result of nine months of exploration into the reality of the work of GPNs (general practice nurses). It explains, for the first time, what it is about GPNs that make them so valuable, such a key part of general practice today, and a vital component in the planned development of the NHS. The research shows how GPNs are leading the way towards the future of primary practice as they work alongside GPs, physiotherapists, pharmacists, phlebotomists and other healthcare professionals, all of whom are experts leading care in their field, supporting their patients, and supporting each other in multi-disciplinary teams.
