Dr. Diarmuid Quinlan:

Nurses are an invaluable resource in our health service. We have a very substantial cohort of highly skilled nurses in Ireland. It is important that all career options are available to them. General practice is and should be one of those career options. We need to make sure we train sufficient numbers of nurses as we train a sufficient number of GPs. We should make every career option, including the very attractive role of GP nursing, available to nurses.
