Health focus: time for a change
Article Abstract:
The UK General Council is proposing that common training modules on district nursing, health visiting and OH nursing courses, be shared, enabling those on the courses to understand each other's roles better. Some feel it would help OH nursing to be recognised as part of community nursing, although others believe that the OH nursing may lose its individual identity.
