title: Incorporating the named nurse concept into care.
abstract: The named nurse concept stresses the importance of individualised care for patients. The concept is compatible with methods of nursing that put emphasis on the individual relationship with patients, such as primary nursing and team nursing. With sufficient resources, the named nurse is a suitable concept to apply in the organisation of care delivery in mental health nursing.
