Abstract

[Extract] Nurses and midwives have been quietly working away in rural general practice for some time now, but the role they play remains largely misunderstood and as a consequence under valued.

They would argue that practice nurses have a high degree of autonomy, which must be supported by expert knowledge and broad based clinical skills
