Abstract |
This study explores perceptions of general practitioners in the Northland District Health Board (NDHB) regarding the nurse practitioner role, identifying their knowledge of and perceived problems with that role, and their experience of nurses in advanced practice. A purposive sample of all 108 general practitioners in NDHB was undertaken, with a response rate of 46.3%. General practitioners favourably viewed nurse practitioner functions traditionally associated with nursing, such as health teaching, home visiting, obtaining health histories, and taking part in evaluation of care, but less favourably viewed those functions associated with medicine, such as prescribing, ordering laboratory tests, and physical assessment. While expecting few problems with patient acceptance, the general practitioners felt that funding and doctors' acceptance would be problematic. Most general practitioners indicated they had knowledge of the nurse practitioner role and had experienced working with a nurse in advanced practice, but some uncertainty and lack of knowledge about the nurse practitioner role was evident. The author recommends more education and discussion with Northland general practitioners to ensure they are fully informed about the nurse practitioner role and its potential positioning in primary healthcare, to reduce uncertainty, minimise role confusion and promote collaboration between general practitioners and nurse practitioners. |

Abstract |
The researchers evaluate and compare the organisation of general practice in the UK and New Zealand. A key aim of the Primary Health Care Strategy is a reduction in health inequalities. Locally, some nurse leaders suggest that changing nurse practice employment from general practitioners to Primary Health Organisations will achieve this aim. The authors take lessons from the UK and suggest that nurses organising themselves into peer groups, remuneration of general practices for the attainment of positive patient outcomes, and a statutory duty of clinical governance, all contributed to the development of practice nurses' roles and expansion of numbers of nurse practitioners in general practice. Nurses have become partners with general practitioners in general practice in the UK, which the authors suggest is a much preferable alternative for some than employment by a Primary Health Organisation. |
