    Area of Science:

    • Nursing
    • General Practice
    • Healthcare Management

    Background:

    • Practice nursing roles within the National Health Service (NHS) present a unique employment dynamic, with nurses working directly for general practitioners (GPs) rather than larger organizations.
    • Potential exists for mutual misconceptions regarding the roles, competencies, and expectations between GPs and practice nurses.
    • Nurses may be unaware of GPs' status as independent contractors and their autonomy in setting service terms and conditions.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To elucidate the distinct aspects of practice nursing employment within the NHS.
    • To highlight the importance of mutual understanding and clear communication between GPs and prospective practice nurses.
    • To guide nurses in preparing for and navigating the application and contracting process for general practice positions.
