title: Modernizing community nursing services in Scotland.
abstract: Scotland is in the midst of a major review of community nursing which began in 2006. The Scottish Executive, as part of the modernisation of the National Health Service, began a radical and far reaching review of nursing in the community. What transpires in Scotland over the next few years has the potential to contribute to the global debate about how community nursing may be developed to meet the needs of people and communities.
