This report summarises the findings of the report on development of primary health care nursing in New Zealand, Nursing Developments in Primary Health Care 2001–2007. The report includes; a review of literature and previous reports on primary health care nursing; semi-structured interviews with Primary Health Organisation (PHOs), general practice staff and other key stakeholder organisations; structured interviews with nurse leaders; and a survey of general practice staff.

Purpose

The aim of the report was to explore the development of primary health care nursing since the introduction of the PHCS and in particular to what extent the intentions of the PHCS, as they applied to nursing, had been met.

Key Results

The two factors that have most influenced the expansion of the nurses' roles are; where PHOs and practices have embraced the intentions of the PHCS and adopted a population health approach, with new models of care and increased collaboration between primary health care teams; and where PHOs have recognised the potential of additional funding associated with specific services that are largely nurse-led.
