It is a must have for all practice nurses, both new and experienced to ensure we work towards best practice and ensure the highest standard of care for all our patients.  \nDr. Maitiú Ó Tuathail  \nPresident NAGP (Ireland) 2018  \nForeword  \nPractice Nurses play an important and pivotal role in healthcare providing a range of interventionsand services to patients in General Practice and Primary Care settings.  \nWhile most Practice Nurses work in GP surgeries and doctor led clinics, others are working as autonomous practitioners in community practices and nurse led centres, such as Walk-in Centres, Student Health Centres, Occupational Health, Health Screening and Information Services, Community Intervention Team and Out Of Hours GP Clinical and Triage Nursing Services.  \nPractice Nurses are presented with an ever increasing range of conditions and patient needs asthe role is constantly changing and evolving. The extended roles and range of clinical skills which may be provided by a Practice Nurse depend on the needs of the patient and the qualifications, skills, competencies and scope of practice of each individual Practice Nurse (NMBI 2015). Practice Nurses, therefore, have a responsibility to ensure that they are suitably qualified, skilled and competent in carrying out each clinical procedure and intervention that they undertake.  \nPractice Nursing: Clinical Guidelines and Procedures in Practice provides a comprehensive overview and a step by step guide for nurses carrying out a range of clinical procedures in General Practice and Primary Care settings. National clinical directives, policies, guidelines and documents are regularly updated and should always be consulted. This manual, written by a Practice Nurse, is based on current local and national guidelines. It is intended as a quick guide reference to clinical procedures commonly carried out in Irish health care settings, but main government publications, guidelines and updates should always be referred to.  \nAuthor  \nTheresa Lowry-Lehnen, RGN is qualified as a practitioner in General Practice Nursing and a Teacher of Science.
