Nurse-led triage in general practice
Article Abstract:
A general practice in Doncaster has developed a nurse-led focus with such commitment that the nurse team at the practice can manage three-quarters of patient care and the practice first started developing nurse-led services. The practice runs a total nurse triage system, has nurse-led-disease-specific and minor illness clinics, and a nurse apartment while the development of the nurse role has meant that the time for each GP appointment has doubled and can focus on patients with more complex needs.
