Nursing in Practice has launched a new podcast to discuss the key issues facing nurses working in general practice and in the community across the UK

The first episode of The Nursing in Practice Podcast asks how the 10-year health plan could change general practice nursing, shares details of the new How Nurses Count campaign, and discusses an update on general practice nurse pay.

Madeleine Anderson, news and features writer at Nursing in Practice, interviews Kim Ball, professional lead for primary care at the Royal College of Nursing, and Frances Baverstock, lead nurse for primary care at Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board and RCN General Practice Nurse Forum member, about the recently launched 10-year plan and the need to recognise the expertise GPNs bring to primary care.

Carolyn Scott, Nursing in Practice editor, discusses the Nursing in Practice ‘How Nurses Count’ campaign, which is spotlighting the leadership, clinical expertise and financial contributions of practice nurses to the primary care workforce.

Megan Ford, Nursing in Practice deputy editor, analyses findings from the Nursing in Practice General Practice Nurse Pay: Salary Survey of the Profession 2025, which was co-authored with our sister title Management in Practice and received responses from hundreds of practice nurses, and gives an update on recent developments around pay.

Future episodes will include cutting edge conversations with nurses, leaders and innovators, with discussion on nurse-led advances in primary care, clinical practice and NHS reform.
