For staff who are interested in becoming a Practice Nurse we run a short (5 days) introduction to General Practice course. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This course runs about three times a year and its content is relevant to practice nursing . <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For further information\/discussion please contact:
loth.intropracticenursing@nhs.scot<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once you have started the practice nurse course it is possible to apply for practice nurse positions that are advertised within recruitment.  <\/p>\n\n\n

How can I access courses?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

NHS Lothian welcomes you to our updated GP Practice Nurse Website. General Practice Nurses can access any training and development opportunities provided by NHS Lothian.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We also have a twitter account which is@nhslgp<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As you know we have a robust training department and a team who manage all education in General Practice. In order to support GP Practice training we ask that application forms for staff e.g. Practice Nurses and Reception staff, go through the generic application mailbox. In order to make this as smooth as possible the Education team have introduced a closing date on all courses, which will provide the administration team with time to commission and book spaces for Practice Nurses and Healthcare Support Workers in General Practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
