7 Foreword by Professor P. J arvis It gives me great pleasure to write the Foreword to this edition of Pauline Jeffree's The Practice Nurse. 1 have been privileged to work with her for many years now, as she has developed her own understanding of the education of adults. lndeed, 1 was also able to help her start the very first course in England for the training of practice nurses at the University of Surrey. The book that Pauline Jeffree has written is a practicat book, and that it should be, because the work of the practice nurse is practicat. Underlying every practice, however, is theory and it is increasingly important in this complex. world that our theory is well developed. The old maxim 'nothing is as practicat as good theory' is true.lt is for this reason that we started the training courses. As government policy is emphasizing the place of the General Practice in health care rather than the hospital, so the work of the practice nurse is developing and becoming even more complex. Not only is it about healing patients of their bodily ills, it is also about listening, counselling and supporting. It is about the young and the not so young - many of whom will need the practice nurse's expert knowledge, skill and all the support that can be offered. lndeed, in this modern society, when some people feel at a loss and unsure of themselves, people may turn increasingly to the General Practice for help of all types. The practice nurse is playing an increasingly important role in the care of people and 1 am sure that this book will be used extensively by practice nurses in the process of their own work, helping them develop the practicat knowledge of the expert. In a world of commercialism and the market, when everything is costed at the market price, the dedicated care that the expert practice nurse offers cannot be costed and so 1 commend this book to you as a useful tool in

9 Foreword by Dr K. Scott The past two decades has seen nursing develop in the United Kingdom into a highly skilled professional body. During this time a new brand of nursing has emerged - the Practice Nurse. This book is designed specifically for the Practice Nurse to equip herlhim to undertake skills that are expected in the development of Primary Care linked with the training to fulfil this role. The Author has spent many years of her nursing career committed to the education and training of the Practice Nurse. She was responsible for the first approved Practice Nurse Training Course in the UK which was established at the University of Surrey. Miss Jeffree has undertaken extensive research into practice nursing and has been able to refine the needs ofthe Practice Nurse. This, associated with her vast clinical experience as a Senior Practice Nurse, has enabled her to become an authority in this field and in this book she is able to share her knowledge and experience. The Practice Nurse is emminently placed to be a practitioner in her/his own right and should be recognised as such. The missing link in securing this concept is the provision of appropriate levels of training, a gap which this excellent book will go a long way to fill. Kenneth Scott, OBE, MB, BS, FRCGP, DRCOG Senior Partner, General Practice, Beckenham, Kent.

10 Preface Nursing has made, over the years, a unique contribution to patient care and the introduction of practice nursing has had a signficant ro le to fulfil in the development of primary care. The focus of primary care is changing, many people are living longer and many have disabilities and/or chronic diseases. There are more risk factors which can be identified and modified by improving lifestyle or preventing illness. There is also a growing awareness of the need not only to respond to illness, but also to prevent disease and to promote health. The Practice Nurse and Practice Nursing does have a key role to play in these changes. Indeed, practice nurses are in a position, both opportunistically and through planned intervention, to inftuence the health status of the estimated 98% of the general population who are registered with a general practitioner. There is a need for the utilization of nursing and health visiting skills for the greater effectiveness of primary health care. The sharing of responsibilities with not only the nursing profession but also with the patient/client and his/her carers or supporters, challenges the traditional role of the nurse, because a higher profite is given to the unique role of the nurse in assessing, diagnosing and prescribing the nursing care programmes, monitoring and evaluating that programme and the subsequent outcomes of nursing care. The aim of these changes is to bring together the range of professional skills available in the community so that the utilization of resources are maximized for the benefit of patients/clients, carers and supporters and society as a whole. The challenges before us are considerable. It is hoped that this book will provide some support as future challenges are faced.
