Nursing in General Practice
Nursing in General Practice
Vision
AGPN's vision for Nursing in General Practice (NiGP) is that every general practice in Australia be supported and encouraged to employ or have access to a general practice nurse.
Background
AGPN provides national leadership and coordination for the Nursing in General Practice (NIGP) Program, which is a key program under the Australian Government’s Nursing in General Practice Training and Support Initiative.
Aims and Objectives
The aims of the Network NiGP Program are to support the effective employment of PNs to:
- Relieve workforce pressure in general practice
- Improve the prevention and management of chronic disease
- Improve access to, and the quality and integration of patient care
These aims will be met through the following objectives:
- Building the capacity of divisions to deliver support services for nursing in general practice, in particular to recruit and retain nurses
- Brokering, coordinating and funding education and professional development opportunities for nurses in general practice in collaboration with general practice networks
