Orientation Program for Nurses New to General Practice (Online Program)

General practice is a different and unfamiliar environment to other areas of nursing practice and this orientation provides a comprehensive orientation for nurses to this new working environment and an understanding of the roles and responsibilities for nurses working in this area.

The Online Orientation Program for Nurses New to General Practice is now back online. An extensive overhaul of the Orientation Program content, as well as structural changes to the online system has caused this training package to be offline for a number of weeks.
