Verbatim
“It is unacceptable that nurses working in general practice continue to have to negotiate their pay, terms and conditions with their employers on an individual basis and it is disappointing that employers fail to recognise recommended pay awards set out nationally by the government.”
“We need to be cautious, as we found that all of the reviews included in our overview were lacking in some way in quality and rigour, and often did not focus specifically on retention as an important outcome.”
“Nursing is often defined as fluidly fitting the gaps that other services miss and we often have to carry out work that would otherwise be left undone.”
“Focusing on one group of nurses while excluding others creates greater disparity, unfairness and ultimately negatively affects recruitment and retention of nurses in general practice.”
“In the new GenRet Study we found that long-standing, deep-seated issues such as poor pay, terms and conditions, lack of professional respect and parity of esteem, weak leadership and support from professional organisations, and a lack of a seat at the decision-making table, left nurses vulnerable and led to tipping points which made them unhappy and want to quit.”
