Career and Capability Framework
This document outlines the core capabilities of a number of nursing roles within Primary Care, including General Practice Nurses.
Clinical Supervision
Clinical Supervision is a formal process of professional support, reflection and learning that contributes to individual development. Clinical Supervision is supported for nurses by NMC and for other disciplines through their professional bodies. Please find useful resources below. It is recommended that practices have a Clinical Supervision policy, many use templates from Practice Index but there are some examples included within the resources.
