Mentors and Students “The placement has given me an amazing insight into primary care and the role of the Practice Nurse. The placement exceeded my expectations. The nursing team encouraged me to participate in care and gave me many opportunities to learn and work with the whole primary care team. It has been the best placement I have had, and I have never been made to feel so welcome and comfortable”.
