Under Pressure: Community Nursing on the Road to Recovery

How have primary care – the NHS’s ‘front door’ - and community nursing services been impacted by the pandemic? What help does this crucial sector need in order to recover? And what can be done to attract more people to work in this vital area of nursing? Ellen Nicholson of the RCN General Practice Nursing Forum and Sue Hill of the District and Community Nursing Forum join PNC chair Rachel Hollis and committee member Alison Leary to talk about COVID’s impact on health care services in the community. “This is one of the most complicated workflow issues we’ve ever handled.” – Alison Leary “People are absolutely worn out. We need to bring the human factor back into this.” – Ellen Nicholson “Community nurses are always creative in the way they work. They think on their feet, they think really quickly about how they can solve a problem.” – Sue Hill “I think we really need to tackle the terms and conditions and give the nurses in general practice parity with their colleagues within the NHS.”– Ellen Nicholson “General practice has stepped up and has managed much of the COVID vaccination programme for the last year. That’s put extra burden on general practice.” – Ellen Nicholson Presented by Rachel Hollis and Alison Leary. Producer Jelena Sofronijevic.
