The NHS pay deal – accept or reject?

The proposed NHS pay deal has split opinion among primary care nurses eligible to vote on it.

The latest issue of Nursing in Practice looks at why it has caused such a divide, and speaks to two of the biggest unions – both with opposing views on the deal – to get their thoughts on which way nurses should vote.

The issue also looks back at what community nursing was like in Northern Ireland during The Troubles, with an interview with author and former health visitor Margaret Graham, who had to visit patients at home during the fighting.

There are tips for practice nurses looking to further their career and become advanced nurse practitioners, as well as all the latest clinical advice on a range of common primary care conditions.
