With recruitment into primary care slow and pay structures still up for debate, Paula Marsden reveals how Primary Care Networks and the new Allied Health Professional roles can assist general practices in retaining nurses The Government has promised to deliver 50 000 more nurses and to partially reinstate the student nurse bursary plan. One programme that has been successful in creating a more rigid career framework for primary care nurses is the General Practice Nursing 10 Point Plan (GPN10PP) ( NHS England, 2017 ). However, the GPN10PP omitted any reference to pay, terms and conditions. Furthermore, the number of nurses moving out of the community setting and into general practice remains slow, due to general practices' ability to provide adequate training placements. This paper discusses how the newly formed Primary Care Networks (PCNs) can aid in improving recruitment, as well as how to improve pay, terms and conditions for primary care nurses.
