"Transferable skills are worthless if no new posts are created"

Article Abstract:

There seems to be some misapprehension that primary care is a cheap option, and it is better if resources can be channeled from secondary care to the community. Many nurses are redeployed to community settings, but whatever transferable skills a nurse might possess, they are worthless if no new nursing posts are created.

'DH cooks risk spoiling the primary care broth'

Article Abstract:

The Department of Health (DH) has given the nurses a choice to dine in luxury for 1.9% of the entree and return for 0.6% of the dessert. The DH policymakers are determined to spoil the broth with their incessant initiatives instead of concentrating on primary health care.

Article Abstract:

Primary care nurses need a break from the barrage of new ideas and strategies. Many top-down policies are a complete waste of money and time and primary care nurses might be able to use their skills more effectively if given more of a free rein.
