Professional relationships: CCN's and primary care nurses.
Children's community nursing is a relatively new service to provide nursing care to children in the community. Collaboration between new services and established community services is necessary to ensure children receive care from the most appropriate service. The views of health visitors, school nurses, district nurses and children's community nurses were sought to provide insight into collaborative processes. Focus groups were used to obtain participants' views of professional relationships. Each professional group viewed their relationship with the children's community service through the context of their own service. Expectations of children's community nurses by professionals were different for each professional group.
