Foreword

“I am pleased to introduce this comprehensive guide on how to effectively apply the educational and clinical resources within the General Practice Nursing (GPN) Core Career and Capabilities Framework. These six key resources have been carefully aligned with our published frameworks for general practice, primary care, and wider community nursing teams, ensuring they are relevant, practical, and directly supportive of your professional journey. The resources have been developed by expert, generalist and specialist nursing teams across England, reflecting a collaborative effort to provide quality tools that align with the defined scope of nursing practice.

“The creation of these clinical and educational resources represents a significant step forward in supporting the professional development of general practice and community nursing teams. I would like to thank Louise Brady, Primary Care Nursing Lead, NHS England, for her leadership in this important work. I also extend my gratitude to the NHS England regional teams and nursing colleagues for their invaluable contributions and to colleagues at Skills for Health with their ongoing support for our work in this space. These resources are designed to be practical and accessible, enabling busy nursing teams to integrate them into their daily practice. My hope is that they will not only enhance your skills and knowledge but also positively impact the care you provide to the communities you serve.”
