Hospice home care services: a Scottish perspective

Margaret Kindlen

Queen's Nursing Institute (Scotland) Tutor, St Columba's Hospice, Edinburgh

This paper reports on a postal survey, undertaken in Scotland to describe the role of the 'specialist' nurse involved in the home care of dying patients. The issues raised and discussed as a result of this investigation include specialization in nursing, professional teamwork and the amount of information sharing which exists between patients, families and health care professionals.

Key Words: home care services • nursing specialties • palliative treatment • primary health care • primary nursing care • specialism
