Více o knize

Focusing on the evolving role of nurses, the book explores the potential for nurse practitioners to serve as first-point-of-contact consultants, offering an alternative to traditional doctor visits. It analyzes various global models and proposes a tailored approach for the UK, supported by research on the implications for patients, doctors, and nurses. Practical implementation steps for Primary Care Groups are outlined, alongside the professional impact on healthcare roles. The findings highlight the growing acceptance and influence of nurse practitioners in the healthcare system.
