This is shocking but unfortunately not surprising. It’s a complex issue to solve in large part due to the power differentials in general practice, the devaluing of nursing and lack of nursing voice at decision making levels
@alisonleary1 @louisebrady17 just wanted to highlight some of the challenges GPNs face still! I know how hard you guys are fighting for equal pay and recognition for registered nurses, yet still this goes on! I don’t know how to fix this.

Today’s announcement of a new pilot to fund more ASC nurses to train to prescribe is a vital step in recognising clinical expertise, supporting career development, and improving care. It will also enable timely treatment and strengthen shared care across health & social care.

Starting as a GP in 1979, I wanted better skills to look after the dying. I learnt them from the master (Twycross) & had wonderful district nurses for 24 hr care at home. Spend the money on DNs @wesstreeting - they are the best asset in palliative care. Also the best safeguard.
