title: Developing a nurse-led aural care clinic.
abstract: This article describes how a nurse-led ear care clinic was developed at the North Staffordshire Hospital NHS Trust to reduce patients' waiting time. A nurse was trained under the supervision of two consultants and one registrar, and an assessment of the service after the first eight months showed that the clinic was successful and popular with patients.
