Develop a financial model that demonstrates the financial costs and benefits to general practitioners of using practice nurses. This study uses the results of a literature review and data from nine NZ primary care practices, including GP and nurse diaries recording details of more than 2,000 consultations, to develop a model estimating the financial impact of task substitution between nurses and GPs. Data were collected between July and November 2009.
