Sorry both , but advanced nursing and AHP practice is not a role to make GP’s life easier, be a cheaper option , filing and admin clerk or to manage low complexity work . They are clinicians whose role enhances GP services with their expertise

'Rot set in' - utter tosh. The 'evidence' says otherwise. Perpetuating Misogyny ; Anti-intellectualism ; anti-evidence based practice ; patriarchy ... i could go on (and on!)
“The rot set in” when the state stopped training nurses on the ward and sent them on degree courses instead. An excellent letter in yesterday’s Times.

Id rather be described an academic researcher who is also a Nurse - rather than a non-medical academic ! Language defines behaviour,inclusion & value in the research community that impacts opportunities. Importantly then the value placed on contribution to transformation.
"Do non-medical academics add value through leadership to transformational change within the NHS?" The debate is on!!
