Infermieri in sostituzione dei MMG? Ecco la verità.

Lombardy, in some Asst an experiment has started, promoted by the Vice President and Welfare Councillor of the Lombardy Region, Letizia Moratti, which will then be subject to evaluation.

We have read everywhere that nurses will replace general practitioners, but in reality, it will not be exactly like that.

Nurses will have a key role in primary care, in particular they will strengthen, thanks to their competence, experience, but also with new innovative forms of organization, the territory, especially providing support in those municipalities where there will be a shortage of GPs, lightening their workload and not replacing them.

The goal is to achieve effective collaboration, with different skills, not overlapping but certainly synergistic and complementary.

What LapaginadiNursingUp wonders is, will this new responsibility be paid proportionally to risks and responsibilities or will it fall under the virtual heading of missionaries?

Let us remember that the pay of healthcare professionals in Italy is below the OECD average, among the lowest.

In particular, nurses have risks and responsibilities that go beyond, and it is increasingly difficult to make it to the end of the month.

Politics should reflect, because more and more nurses are resigning and more and more students are dropping out already halfway through the first year. Why is the nursing category the one with the most accidents, suicides, and risk of burnout (ISTAT data)?
