Published requirement description

Delivery of one or more accredited modules relevant to nurses working in general practice (see Table 1). The content of modules has been informed by an educational needs analysis (ENA) which was completed in May 2021 (available at www.nes.scot.nhs.uk/our-work/general-pra… ↗). More detailed ENA results are available on request.

Funding is for GPNs; however, these modules may also be of interest to other nurses, particularly those working in primary care settings such as district nurses, nurse practitioners and advanced nurse practitioners.
