National survey of Australians’ perceptions of nurse practitioners in primary care

HCCA is currently undertaking a research project with the Australian Primary Health Care Research Institute (APHCRI) at the Australian National University.   This work is funded by the Department of Health and Ageing

Phase one of the project, involving the focus groups, was successfully completed in October; we are now in the second phase of the project and the national survey of Australians’ perceptions of nurse practitioners in primary care, was launched on 1 November. This survey will close on 30 November 2010.

I am asking for your support in promoting the survey as widely as possible among your members and networks. This includes family and friends.

The survey is available on the Australian Primary Health Care Research Institute website at https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/nursesinprimaryhealthcare and we have placed a prominent link on our website 

Dr Rhian Parker, from APHCRI, spoke on Radio National’s ABC Breakfast on 1 November to mark the launch. In case you missed it, it is available online.
