Abstract
In today's National Health Service (NHS) developments in technology, changing patterns of disease and reduced length in hospital stays are putting district nurses at the heart of Government policy. Liberating the Talents, the governments framework for nursing in primary care (Department of Health 2002), challenges our traditional way of seeing nursing roles determined by titles rather than by the needs of patients and communities. It describes three core functions for all nurses, regardless of their employer or job title: first contact care, public health and management of chronic and long term conditions. district nurses will have a major role to play in each area. However, with regard to long term conditions, patients have a special need for the skills and knowledge that district nurses have, enabling them to make a unique contribution to the care of this vulnerable group (Turner 1998).
