This looks one million times better than working on a non stop under staffed ward starting from 7 am finishing at 8 pm or later, without managing to go on your break and then coming back the next day! Are all GP Nurse Practitioners band 6? I cannot understand the actual process to be trained for this beautiful role. 😭
Don’t get me wrong, we are also rushed off our feet and understaffed 😭 but if you find the right GP, you’ll be well looked after 💙 It depends on the GP and what they pay you. Each one has their own funding to pay their staff. But most is a band 6 rate from what I can see 😁 But there are lots that will pay less! It’s about finding the good ones who know your worth 💙 x
Thank you SO much for these videos. I have just found out my next placement is in a GP surgery and I am really looking forward to it. Your videos will help so much 😌
Hi ... Claire ... In my knowledge ... Most of the jobs you have shown in this video has been done by a CSW or Healthcare assistant in the Hospital ... After they are trained for couple of days to obtain a package .. That includes .. IV cannula , Foleys catheter , EKG or ECG, Blood sugar monitoring , Taking Full sets of observations , Dressing changes for complicated wounds like pressure ulcers , diabetic foots , bladder scan , or except almost everything other than medication administration... I'm really proud of them .. most of them have educational backgrounds of IT , economic , engineering etc .... came as dependents sometimes ... ... etc ... correct me if i'm wrong ... You are so blessed to be there .... thanks for giving an idea of what's happening inside that GP rooms ... The healthcare assistants may not require a nursing study or license or medical background ... but they are trained under qualified team members of the educational wing of each hospital ...according to their corporate policies ..... I did not mentioned above story happens in which country / trust ..... you can guess if you want 🙃
Hi Claire, not related to this but another vlog on placements, about it being amazing, you're not wrong, it is just that and so humbling to offer the time and care to patients and to feel you have done your best for those in your care
Hie Claire thanks for your videos ,wanted to ask,I have come to the end of nurse training and I want to work as a Practice Nurse but I have seen they said 12 months training,my question is I'm being advised to work in a Ward for atleast a year to gain experience and knowledge instead of going straight into Practice Nurse, I know you went into it straight away and how's things with you, do you think I will benefit going to work in a Ward first
No, ignore these people who say you need 12 months experience. You don’t need it! Also GP is so varied and specialised you are better off going straight into it if that’s where your heart is set 💙 I went straight into and they trained me up :) xx
Hi Claire this was so good and insightful thank you for sharing🤩 I wanted to ask did u get any experience in uni that you think helped you get ur first role in a GP please
Hello! may I ask, there is a difference beetween a GP nurse and a Nurse practioner? or are they just differents names for the same rol? Thanks in advance :)
A nurse practitioner is like an advance nurse practitioner. So it’s a different role, you assess and diagnose and treat patients. They can prescribe too :) X
Hi since you went straight into GP Nursing, if you want to register with an agency are you able to? I’m interested in GP nursing and I also want to be registered with an agency to do extra shifts, if I don’t have ward experience soon after qualifying am I able to register with an agency.
Hello Claire, I'm a student nurse (adult), I absolutely love your videos, and appreciate all your hard work. I aspire to become a GP nurse like yourself, in the future. However, I'm a bit lost and need some guidance on how to get into this profession after I finish my undergraduate degree. Please can you provide some guidance and maybe suggest some helpful websites relating this matter, I would be very grateful to you. Thank you very much.
Hey! Thank you so much :) Literally just apply,,, that’s all I did and my friends who are NQN too. NHS jobs, other job sites, you can apply directly to the GP you want to work at as well. And contact your local GP training hub as well (if you have one) if not - contact your local CCG’s 💙 There’s some good info on the QNI website too: gpnen.org.uk
My degree is a integrated masters nursing degree so 4yrs instead of 3 do you think it’s worth it as a nurse getting a masters degree or not? Also if I leave at the end of 3rd I will get a BSc in healthcare is this the same as a BSc nursing degree or different and it will also be without nmc registration could I just register myself orr…. Sorry I’m slightly confused
You have to be registered with the NMC to be a nurse. I’m not sure about a masters or how it helps to be honest? It’s all confuses me too haha. Might get you a lead nurse role maybe one day tho? I’ve seen a few of them ask for a masters :) which is a bonus if you want to be a lead nurse.

How do you get into gp nurse, every job I’ve seen they want 1 years experience, I’ve been qualified nearly 19 years in hospital. Sick of it working 13-14 hours with 15 minute break. We have 8-10 patients to care for so short sometimes your on your own. Just ridiculous. 😢❤
Apply anyway! They won’t get many experienced GP Nurses applying. Just put all your transferable skills on the application form :) Also ring your local GP and ask them about any vacancies as well. Sometimes they don’t advertise online for jobs :)
Hi Clare, I have been trying to follow you on your Instagram and sent a request over a week ago but still waiting to accepted . Great insight of a day of a gp nurse video. Thank you x
Ooh that hack for the little glass vials is going to come in so handy!

Yay! That’s amazing! Well done 💙🙌🏻 I hope you love it as much I do :) xx
Hi Claire,
Your video gives good insight into how you do your job as a nurse, working in GP’s surgery.
I love how your passionate about your job I'm inspired to become a gp nurse in the future I really enjoy your videos
Thank you so much. I hope you’re doing ok 💙

Yeah you can do agency shifts still 🥰 a few nurses do this :) x
I hope we also had a breakfast cupboard. :D
Wonderful video
how much time do you get for each patient ?
It depends on what it’s for? 10 mins to 40mins :) xx

@@ClaireCarmichael is a Bsc in healthcare the same as Bsc in nursing? Also can I register for the nmc or does it have to be through uni thanks btw💕
Hi I’m doing a integrated masters nursing degree so when I graduate will I still be on band 5
Maybe? Or maybe a band 6 role? 🤷🏻♀️ I’m not 100% sure to be honest
Hello, do you need to be able to drive to do gp nursing
No :) a GP Nurse has a clinic room in a GP surgery. Unless the place does home visits. But it’s not part of a standard GP nurse role :)
