Professional Nurse Advocates
Are you a nurse passionate about supporting colleagues? We are looking for nurses to work with the Training Hub as Professional Nurse Advocates (PNAs). You will be supported to undertake the PNA course and be paid a sessional rate to work with colleagues as part of our new support programme. We are particularly keen to hear from nurses who were educated outside the UK and have lived experience of the challenges experienced by those new to working in the NHS and living in the UK.
To express an interest to commence the course in February or March 2024, please email us at candptraininghub@nhs.net with ‘PNA’ as the subject and we will contact you with more information.

Return to Practice Nurse
Many nurses have allowed their nursing registration to lapse, often for very good reasons such as bringing up a family or following a completely different path. During this time, they are likely to have acquired many skills which are really useful for working in General Practice or the community. General Practice can be a really good place to regain skills and learn new more primary care related skills as well as working within a small team.
