A model for nurse-led care

Last month, IN attended the opening of new premises for a nurse-led general practice that had the featured in one of the early issues of the magazine. Cuckoo Lane Practice in West London is a social enterprise practice. The nurses believe that it is one of only a few nurse-led practices in existence. The practice has grown so much in the nine years since the nurses took over that it was necessary to relocate to new purpose-built premises, not far from the original surgery. The reopening was attended by Baroness Cumberledge, who has long been a supporter of nurses and nurse prescribing.
