Eighteen months general practice experience with urban practice nurses.
Experience working with practice nurses under the present urban practice nurse scheme is described very briefly. Financial matters are touched on briefly, as are points for and against the scheme. The personal conclusions reached with regard to patient acceptance, opportunities to practise a more preventive type of medicine and the relief of excessive pressures on the doctor, appear to make the continuance and extension of the scheme well worthwhile.
