title: Changing practice to primary nursing.
abstract: Primary nursing is now seen as popular method of delivering nursing care. The process of introducing this system requires prior planning, involving all members of nursing staff. A change in philosophy, culture and roles occurs with the introduction of primary nursing. Evaluation of this change is necessary, to determine if it is beneficial both to patients and the multidisciplinary team.
