It is really important for nurses to attend to their own emotional needs so that they are in a better position to cope with the challenges they face on a daily basis; to support their own wellbeing and also offer that support to patients. NHS England recently launched a mental health app amid reports that more than 40,000 nurses have left the NHS in the past year largely due to stress. IGPNEA are acutely aware of the stresses that their GPN members are under due to ever increasing workloads and the manpower crisis in general practice. The Association is about supporting its members and, in doing so, enhancing and developing patient care. With this in mind and following discussion with its members, IGPNEA is pleased to announce a collaboration with the holistic wellness platform, wrkit.
