'Pride in Nursing' - campaigning for a national day of recognition for primary care nurses
It is high time primary care nurses received the recognition they deserve. The recent barrage of negative press, marginalisation by the government and increasing numbers of hostile patients have left many nurses feeling under attack.
Furthermore, the upcoming changes in the NHS will force more and more patients into the community – piling on more work for primary care nurses.
Sign the ‘Pride in Nursing’ e-petition for a national day of recognition for primary care nurses in May 2013.
Health Secretary Andrew Lansley was among the first to officially show his support, already promising to encourage MPs to support the debate when it reaches Parliament.
“The Pride in Nursing campaign is a very good idea," said Lansley.
"For a number of reasons we are going to see a bigger focus on the quality of nursing in the community and less of the assumption that when you talk about a nurse you are talking about a nurse on a ward of a hospital.”
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
There's already a petition about this issue. We cannot accept a new petition when we already have one about a very similar issue.
You are more likely to get action on this issue if you sign and share a single petition.
Removed at request of petitioner.
