Article Abstract:

Simon Hughes, junior doctor, and Louise Summerton, nurse practitioner, from Crawley Hospital, West Sussex, UK, believe that the nurse practitioner system there works well. Nurse practitioners are assigned to the doctors' team, rather than to wards, and their role is to reduce the hours worked by doctors, support doctors in various tasks, and provide a link between doctors and ward staff.
