Training for the Treatment-room Sister in General Practice

Abstract

A discussion group course for treatment-room nurses was organized in the spring of 1971 by the Thames Valley Faculty of the Royal College of General Practitioners. Twenty-eight nurses took part. Some were from local authorities but most were privately employed. Questionnaires were completed by participants. The course has had several consequences, and it is felt that some form of specific training for this branch of nursing should be established.
