This makes it more difficult for PHC nurses to come from a cost benefit angle when presenting business cases etc. I think NPs in PHC in NZ suffer particularly from this issue. Incidently I see Nurse Jackie hits our TV screens next week! I will be watching with interest at the programme and the feedback! It was great to meet and hear you speak.
