Out of the spotlight: what we don’t know about district nursing services ‘The future will see far more care delivered locally’; this statement from the NHS five year forward view reaffirmed ambitions to move more care into community settings. So if community-based care is the future, what are the foundations we are building the future on?
Over the past year we have been looking in depth at district nursing services. Part of this work involved us exploring what is already known about these services. How many people receive district nursing care? How many patient contacts are taking place? What happens during those contacts? Has activity changed over time? Has the work become more complex?
We discovered there is a remarkable dearth of national information, meaning the answer to many of these questions was ‘We don’t know’. The King's Fund
