Pre Registration Nurses (Student Nurses)
Pre Registration Nurses (Student Nurses)
Part of our long term plan is to encourage growth in Primary Care, through welcoming Pre Registration nurses to experience how we work and the opportunities offered for training and development. We will endeavour to find Pre Reg nursing placements in a Primary Care setting, so students can gain valuable insight and experience. We can work directly with HEIs, to ensure we have the right learning environment for their students. We are always very happy to offer guidance and support, for Pre Reg nurses wishing to explore a Primary Care career pathway. You are welcome to contact us, if you have any questions Contact Us
Discovering a career in General Practice course (12 weeks fully funded) – open to Pre Registration Nurses, Nurse Associates and Qualified Nurses
NHS England Workforce Training and Education Directorate is aiming to make careers in General Practice Nursing more accessible, with the recent launch of some new training. Nurses (Pre Registration & qualified) and Nurse Associates looking to start/develop a role in General Practice can take the first step with a three month module which aims to equip you for a potential application, interview and career. The course would potentially suit a Pre Registration nurse looking to start a new career, a Nurse Associate building their career or maybe a nurse looking to transition into Primary Care for the first time. This has been developed following feedback on why some applicants were failing to get through the recruitment process for General Practice Nursing. Completing the course would certainly give insight into a Primary Care career and potentially give the edge during an interview process. This is an online course over 12 weeks and has no practical element, so is not a substitute for any of the GPN Trainee or Nurse Associate courses. The aim is for people to gain a better understanding and awareness of Primary Care, and will cover skills and knowledge such as learning how a role fits within the Multi Disciplinary Team, developing one to one communications skills and understanding how to operate in a Primary Care environment. The course is fully funded by NHSE and is an important part of ongoing work, to build a sustainable nursing workforce for Primary Care.
