‘Treatment to prevention’ at the heart of community and primary care nursing
Abstract
While prevention is a longstanding cornerstone of community and primary care nursing, its renewed prominence in the NHS 10-Year Health Plan raises important questions for practice. This reflective commentary considers how nurses' preventative expertise aligns with national policy ambitions, while examining the structural and workforce barriers that threaten delivery. It highlights the need for prevention to be resourced as a core, protected element of everyday nursing care.
