Description

In this podcast, Zoe Tobin, Nurse Advisor for Wessex LMCs is kindly joined by Gemma Burley, Registered Nurse, and course lead for the Foundation degree in Health & Social Care at Southampton Solent University.

• Accountability concerns- around the use of the term ‘proficiencies’ and recognised lack of available support and training for PS/PA in general practice
• Training and support available for PS/PAs
• Tips on how to support a struggling student- role of the PA/AA, action plans and reasonable adjustments
• Benefits of having a student nurse in practice.
