Primary Care Nurses′ Prospects

Abstract

Neti Juniarti

The core of primary medical care for adults and children is provided by highly trained nurses in rural Australia, one of the wealthier nations. Locally trained nurses typically work in hospitals and private clinics in towns in many developing nations (such as Bangladesh and China), whereas lay medical assistants and occasionally doctors provide rural communities' health care. In the United States, chronic disease care is managed by nurses. Some nurses in the UK work for independent contractor general practitioners (GPs), while others, like health visitors, are attached to general practice teams but paid and managed by primary care organizations. They have collaborated with GPs for a long time: Patients with complex clinical and social issues receive better care when these primary care professionals communicate well.
