title: Rehabilitation: scope for improvement in current practice.
abstract: This article concludes this part of the rehabilitation series by looking at the nursing contribution to rehabilitation. It brings together the common elements which have emerged in the previous seven articles, identifying areas in which there is considerable scope for improvement to current practice. Indicative areas of knowledge and skill required for nurses to play a more active role are considered and a number of potential models are briefly described.
