This paper outlines the results of a national census of practice nurses in England and Wales. It not only shows that the numbers of practice nurses have increased dramatically in recent years but also demonstrates how their role has evolved. Many practice nurses are now involved in health promotion, and home visiting, as well as advice and counselling. The findings also indicate that many practice nurses express a need for training. Continuing education for practice nurses is important in ensuring practice nurses are fully qualified and trained for the tasks they undertake. In addition, it also enables them to develop their role and work alongside other community health professionals.
本文概述了英格兰和威尔士执业护士全国普查的结果。它不仅表明近年来执业护士的数量大幅增加，还展示了他们的角色是如何演变的。现在许多执业护士参与健康促进、家访以及提供建议和咨询。调查结果还表明，许多执业护士表示需要培训。对执业护士进行继续教育对于确保他们完全胜任并接受所承担任务的培训非常重要。此外，这也使他们能够拓展自身角色，并与其他社区卫生专业人员协同工作。
