A highly skilled nursing workforce delivering in excess of 84 million consultations each year. Only 50% of this workforce ⬇️ have access to above statuatory sick pay.. paternity and maternity benefits. Radical change needed. The RCN WeGPNs 💙

Over half of GPNs received no pay rise at all last year. Now 2% cap on anything this year. Recruitment to GPN roles is becoming more challenging as nurses cannot afford to swap to these t+c . Spoke to a new GPN today who has had an accident. Unable to work. No sick pay.

‘We need to strategically consider how GPNs are to be supported. We’ve reached crisis point. If we lose more GPNs this is going to have a significantly negative impact on general practice. And these nurses will be sorely missed,' says Helen Anderson PhD RN

There are many GPNs across the country who only get statutory maternity leave or sick leave – who are only able to take the bare minimum amount of leave, and whose salary is far below that of nurses doing the same work. bit.ly/3SnKtvj

Nursing in Practice launches the first of 10 points of priorities for general practice nursing for this year, forming a manifesto for the profession. This first point discusses the need to 'improve employment terms' bit.ly/3OdwmWT

Nursing in Practice Katie Bramall-Stainer 2/ 93% of #GeneralPracticeNurses want their contracts standardised. They need their hourly pay, sick pay, maternity pay and holiday pay to match NHS colleagues on Agenda for change contracts. Only 6% of registered nurses have received any salary increases. ( NiP 2021, 2022)

There is currently a consultation by DHSC on a separate pay spine for nurses on AFC.
