abstract: The Department of Health in England want to see NHS commissioners and providers capitalize upon the expertise of the independent sector for the benefit of NHS patients. In preparing for the future what does the sector have to offer NHS nurses and how will this benefit patient care? This paper examines the role of independent providers and the way they are helping NHS commissioners and providers to break new ground in delivering more accessible and convenient care for NHS patients at home.
