Creating a new nurse specialist post.
Studies have shown the improvement in the quality of care which is achievable when clinical nurse specialists are introduced in the management of patient care. The field of respiratory care appears to be an appropriate setting for specialist nursing roles. The previous paper (Carswell et al) adds weight to the notion that there is room for improvement in the care of patients with respiratory problems. This paper provides the background to the development of a clinical nurse specialist role in respiratory care.
