Abstract
Practice nurses often work in isolated roles and although many enjoy the opportunity for innovation and autonomy within a supportive environment (Baird, 2003) it is sometimes difficult for them to become involved in wider leadership opportunities because of their employment status. Geographical location and lone working arrangements may also limit professional networking and there is evidence to suggest that a significant number of nurses working in general practice settings would like more access to professional support (NHS Education for Scotland, 2007).
