title: Community nursing and the new public health.
abstract: Shirley Goodwin argues that the policy objectives of The health of the nation are broadly those of community nursing's own agenda. In particular, health visitors' skills in profiling community health needs should be invaluable to the new 'purchasers' of local health services--if they can be persuaded to recognise their value.
