NHS England has published a General Practice Nursing (GPN) ten point action plan to provide a highly-skilled GPN workforce. Led by Professor Jane Cummings, Chief Nursing Officer for England the plan aims to raise the profile of GPN as a first destination career, improve access to training, increase the number of pre-registration nurse placements, enhance retention and support return to work schemes for practice nurses. The plan aligns closely with Leading Change, Adding Value; a framework for nursing, midwifery and care staff. The CCG is working with the Community Education Providers Network, the federations and GP practices on local plans in response to the plan.
