title: Steps to develop a working relationship. An evaluation of the community-based clinical nurse specialist.
abstract: To establish an effective working relationship between community nurses and clinical nurse specialists (CNSs) working in the community, the role of the CNS must be clearly defined. A survey was undertaken to identify CNSs' and district nurses' attitudes to the role and its requirements. The ensuing recommendations were implemented with positive results.
