Welfare provision in the UK has undergone a period of restructuring
and new developments since the 1980s. This book assesses the policy
implications of these changes in a number of areas, including
health, education, housing, social policy and security.
Health care is undergoing its most fundamental restructuring since
the establishment of the welfare state. Community nursing is at the
forefront of these changes and is undergoing huge shifts in
priorities, funding and roles. As post-registration education in
this area also changes to meet these changing needs, research and
evidence-based care become key issues in understanding and
demonstrating the need for community nursing. Understanding how
national policy translates to local practice issues is a key
priority for nurses working in all areas of community practice.
Using empirical case studies, this book explores a range of key
practice issues, and aims to evaluate the contribution which
nursing makes in the community. The text emphasises, explores and
evaluates three themes:The shift from secondary to primary care
Establishing needs and priority careThe role of evaluation in
evidence-based practice. Written by leading commentator s in
nursing, policy and research, each chapter isbased on substantial
research and case studies in practice, and focuses on the
importance of evaluation. The book is organised into three
sections, exploring how evaluation is needed at the organisational
level, in the practice arena and in education andtraining. Clearly
written and authoritative, this book will provide an evidence-based
resource for all community nurses.
