Developing Community Nursing Practice Paperback / softback
by Sue Spencer, John Unsworth, W. Burke
Paperback / softback
Description
Developing Community Nursing Practice is the first book to identify and debate the key issues around community nurses taking responsibility for developing the ways in which they deliver care.
Modern health care expects the individual practitioner to develop patient-focused, accessible and evidence-based community services.
Despite the fact that the introduction and management of change is now a feature of professional education, community nurses often feel ill-prepared for introducing change in the real world, perceiving a gap between theory and practice.
Developing Community Nursing Practice aims to close that gap. This book interweaves thinking about change and innovation with wide-ranging case study experience of contemporary community nursing.
It addresses often neglected issues in practice development such as evaluation and sustainability.
It gives guidance on how to identify what aspects of practice need to be developed; on how to convince others of the need to change; on how to work across organizational boundaries; and on the likely hazards and how to tackle them. This is a key resource for all student and practising community nurses (across all specialisms), providing information on how to initiate and implement change and on how ultimately to succeed in developing their own practice.
