title: In splendid isolation.
abstract: Nurses serving communities on the UK's remote islands are using advanced skills in roles that, in many cases, were traditionally filled by doctors. Often working alone, they take on a high level of responsibility. Those who relish island life enjoy the wild beauty of the location and their close relationship with patients.
