An evaluation of a nurse-led cystoscopy surveillance service.
The findings of a regional audit found that Salford had a high incidence of superficial bladder cancer. It was felt that the needs of the patient population could best be served by introducing a nurse-led cystoscopy service. This paper reports on the findings of a postal survey to evaluate the appropriateness and quality of care offered by the new service.
