Diana's legacy for life
Article Abstract:
Ten pilot schemes are being set up in the UK to provide children's community nursing teams under a three-year, six million pounds sterling project as recommended by the Diana, Princess of Wales, Memorial Committee. The teams will aim to offer both practical and emotional support and nursing care to children with life-limiting conditions. The service will give choice and autonomy to the children and their families and will be co-ordinated in conjunction with other professional service providers. Some nurses are concerned about some aspects of the scheme, such as how the project will be funded after the three-year pilot period.

Article Abstract:
A cancer research specialist has been awarded a Nursing Times/Birmingham Hospital Saturday Travel Fund travel scholarship and is due to spend a month at a medical institute in Paris during 1997 to further her knowledge of gene therapy. A senior staff nurse at the Frenchay Hospital in Bristol, UK, also applied for a travel scholarship because she wished to visit a paediatric trauma centre to get more experience of this specialism, and will work at a Red Cross Children's Hospital in South Africa.

Tiresome healing
Article Abstract:
Post-operative care should include information on prolonged fatigue. Patients expect a quick recovery following routine operations as little advice is available. Unjustified worries and guilt feelings from a slow recovery could lead to depression without adequate support. Practice nurses could take responsibility for guiding patients safely back to normal living.
