Two thirds of practice nurses believe they are underpaid and a third plan to retire in the next five years, according to a poll that sheds new light on the deepening GP crisis.
A report by the Queen’s Nursing Institute (QNI) that highlights the state of general practice nursing and challenges for the future found practice nurses taking on extra work but feeling this was not reflected in their pay. Some work second jobs to boost income, the poll found.
The QNI, a charity dedicated to improving community nursing, surveyed more than 3,400 practices nurses about their jobs.
Around 65% of respondents said their salary did not reflect their role. The QNI said the finding should ‘be a cause of concern to their employers and to commissioners responsible for staff retention and workforce planning'.
