I don't see why - what you type makes a great deal of sense.
The whole idea of Nurse Practitioners is, IMHO, simply the
latest trend. There will be lots of studies. A few GP
academics will make their professional fortunes on the back
of the subject. Paper after paper will be trundled out and
published in the BMJ, Lancet, what have you. Most practices
will think about getting a NP. Some will. A lot of nurses
will persuade their GP employers to fund whatever further
qualifications they need. Some course organisers will make
their fortunes by running the relevant courses. Then, 10-15
years from now, someone will do a meta-analysis (or whatever
the trendy statistical thing is in 2010) and prove that NPs
are a waste of time, a waste of resources, not trusted by
patients, not trusted by GPs and... well... simply cr*p.
