Palliative care nursing. Part 1. Building the foundations for primary nursing.
Primary nursing offers a structure that can facilitate the development of patient-centred care and promote the role and status of the nurse. Successful introduction of primary nursing depends on a careful analysis of the current situation, a shared vision for the future, and a consensus on strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats. This article explores the experience of four senior nurses who set out to introduce primary nursing to a palliative care setting.
