Primary and Community Health Care Settings

 |  |  |
Primary and community health care often only referrs to walkin or non-referral healthcare providers, secondary care often referrs to a specialist service that may or may not require a referral and tertiary care often referrs to a hospital setting.
Aged care is was previously associated with tertiary care however, in recent descussions there is more of a shift to reclassify aged care as part of primary or community care or as it's own area.
Recently there has been discussion around levels of access to care and care settings with a shift towards classification as primary and community care (non hospital), acute and emergency care (hospital) and where specialty care should be situated.
Specialty care fall under primary, secondary and tertiary care depending on acute, chronic or complex presentations and the treatments required as this can vary throughtout the patinet health and illness continuum.
Secondary care or specialty area nurses often miss out on education, training, mentoring and other opportunities available to nurses in other areas of nursing however there are many similarities between general practice and other specialists clinics.
General practice falls under primary health care although general practitioners are classified as specialists however you do not require a referral to see one and in some other specialty clinics a referral is preferred but not essential.

Mission & Vision Statements
Our Mission
Our mission is to provide a comprehensive inclusive resource for all nurses working in Primary and Community Health Care extending to Specialist nursing care
GP Nurse Training supports Australian charities for Domestic Violence, First Nation People, Diversity and Inclusion and Mental Health
Our Vision
Our vision is to close the nursing access to education and resources gap by providing an online resource accessible to all nurses and nursing students.
Nurses can only provide informed and holistic person centered care when they have access to the required skills knowledge and resources.
Our vision can only be achieved when nurses are empowered to understand and deliver 'health equity' not 'health equality' as this is the true definition of person centred care.
Our Principles
GPNT's main principle is to help nurses provide 'health equity' not 'health equality' as this is the true definition of person centred care.
'We are all consumers of healthcare and nursing services at some point in our life and when it is our turn to receive care would we not choose health equity over health equality?'
Become the nurse you want to care for you when you need care or educate, train and mentor the next generation of nursing students to achieve and maintain the same standards of care.
