Task shifting from general practitioners to nurses in out-of-hours primary care: an explorative case study of team-based practices
Task shifting from GPs to nurses in OOH-PC is feasible in a team-based workflow, resulting in efficient use of available resources and high job satisfaction. However, task shifting should not aim to replace GPs with nurses. Instead, their roles and skills should be seen as complementary, which calls for task sharing.
