title: Views of doctors and nurses on the development of treatment room nursing: a survey in a Scottish new town.
abstract: A survey of general practitioners and nurses working in the treatment room was carried out in a Scottish new town to determine present treatment room practices and how nurses and doctors saw treatment room nursing developing in the future. There was a general desire to extend the nurse's role in practical fields but disagreement between doctors and nurses over the extent to which nurses should take on diagnostic and therapeutic roles.
