    Evidence indicates that when nurses experience poor well-being it can impact on the quality of care delivered and increase the risks of nurses experiencing moral injury. PNAs lead and support nurses in practice; looking at reducing burnout and building resilience. They advocate and encourage nursing teams to lead on quality improvement, which in turn improves patient care. As well as developing skills of leadership the PNA supports teams in embedding robust Restorative Clinical Supervision (RCS). Implementing this role in Primary Care has it's challenges. NHSE have stipulated that all providers of nurses should ensure there is access to a PNA, and they have a goal of having 1 PNA to 20 nurses throughout the UK. This is happening in Trusts. However, this presents a different challenge to us in Primary care. We have had to think outside of the box...please join us in sharing our journey so far!

    Patient expectations and opinions are more prominent than ever. Gone are the days when everyone is happy with their family GP or stays with their nearest surgery. More people are willing to research, travel, pay, advocate and even self-treat before putting their health in the hands of somewhere they are unhappy with. The problem is that the consensus is that GPs are all the same. They are viewed as terrible and overwhelmed, even if they are different or better than competitors. So, learning how to promote your practice as the best GP for your community, which will in turn grow your patient list, is crucial. Moving forward, this will be a superior way to maintain and increase GP income in decades to come.
