Julie Sylvester RCN GPN Forum 💙 WeGPNs 💙 @GPNCARE 💙GPN Student and Nurse Network🌈 The Queen's Nursing Institute @STN_JW2021 teamCNO 💙 Heather Randle 1/ The essential role of #GPNs in strengthening and transforming patient care and population health must be recognised in practice, policy and education.

Access to Maternity and Paternity pay and above levels of statutory sick pay is critical for this highly skilled and dedicated workforce

Julie Sylvester RCN GPN Forum 💙 WeGPNs 💙 @GPNCARE 💙GPN Student and Nurse Network🌈 The Queen's Nursing Institute @STN_JW2021 teamCNO 💙 Heather Randle 3/ This is a workforce that has been calling for parity in terms and conditions for two decades. Sustainable and protected investment needed into global sum in GP contract for nursing salaries, and benefits aligned to secondary care colleagues.

1/2. 900+ responses to our pay survey! Tell us about your pay award and the level of pay award you received in 2023. We’ll share feedback with LMC and the BMA to build awareness of the current inequity and lack of funding for nursing pay. This is an issue that must be resolved.

GPNs now is the time to arm yourself with information and plan for pay equity with GP colleagues and B
NHS colleagues! The BMA louise brady RN 💙 💚

I had a look at the Board and there isn’t a RN in sight- cqc.org.uk/about-us/our-b… but one, two or three medics. Interesting when we are the largest regulated HCP globally. Very happy to chat any time. Miss #Ursula ☹️

Nursing in Practice The CQC need to read the Sonnet report! GPN’s are an integral part of Primary Care. We are highly skilled, leaders of change and specialists in our field. Becky Wych louise brady RN 💙 💚 Emma de C corrie llewellyn Heather Randle

Nursing associates need to be supervised by registered nurses - beyond words ! Under valued and invisible - general practice will miss our skills when we are home you reap what you sow 😢

Couldn’t agree more! RCN GPN Forum 💙 . ARRS and NA cannot replace the skill and expertise of a well trained GPN. Shocked that CQC have put this in their report!

Celebrating Achievements - Joseph went to Scout Camp this weekend - he did canoeing, the cave wall, the obstacle course and the low ropes. He camped in a tent with two other scouts which can be a real challenge for him. Joseph also went to the noisey camp fire. Well done Joseph!

With Devon & Somerset LMC GPNs talking to them about #nursingworkforcestandards and how they can be applied in general practice Joyce Pickering Wendy Preston

But how many GPs would accept the terms and conditions GPNs get ? General practice is suppose to be a team- can either manage without the other?
