OPINION: Judy Lumby
From: The Australian
October 30, 2010 12:00AM
IN 2005 Australian Medical Association president Bill Glasson wrote a piece on nurses.
He said that nurses "are not trained in holistic patient care. When a GP examines a particular ailment they are assessing the whole person."
Glasson went on to argue that nurses were not trained to be doctors, a point I would agree with. His initial statement, however, is untrue.
I have taught nurses for more than 30 years, and the core of the curriculum has been always thinking about the person in the patient. In other words, for the nurse to not only see and examine a body with an illness or disease but to see and consider the person feeling ill or in pain or distress and take a thorough history.

Dear Colleagues
These certainly are exciting times and one of the most momentous events is approaching in relation to the rolling out of the MBS/PBS numbers and associated legislation for Nurse practitioners. The College strongly recommends attendance to ensure your practice is current and you understand all the requirements to comply with legislation. Topics presented at this one day programme will address these issue and help prepare clinicians for the new requirements under the PBS/MBS legislation.
