Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate employment policies in England to encourage retention of primary and community nurses over the age of 50 years. Little is known about why older nurses in the primary and community workforce leave or what might encourage them to stay. Fifteen telephone interviews with staff with responsibility for the nursing workforce in five primary care trusts (PCTs) and associated Workforce Development Confederations and Strategic Health Authorities.
