NHS England, in collaboration with The QNI, has launched a new Induction Template for General Practice Nursing as part of the delivery on Action Four of the General Practice Nursing Ten Point Plan.

The Induction Template is specifically designed to enable employers to ensure that nurses in a first career destination role in General Practice are well supported when taking their first career step in primary care. This new resource may also be beneficial to nurses who require induction, having recently moved from a hospital or other community nursing environment into primary care for the first time. It aims to assist with good practice around induction and orientation, by developing a bespoke checklist with common ‘national’ elements that can be adapted to suit local areas.
