title: Primary nursing: a new philosophy.
abstract: Primary nursing is dynamic. To reflect belief and working practices accurately, the philosophy of primary nursing needs to be updated regularly. To maintain ownership of the philosophy it should be reformulated by the nursing staff themselves. Commonly shared beliefs about primary nursing are essential if it is to be practised successfully.
