DISCUSSION FORUM
Coming soon.
Stephen Phillips (ADNE representative): How do you perceive the role of the District
Nurse in the 21 Century given your vision for the health service ?
Ara replies: The local SHA visions all spoke about the potential of nursing to play a bigger role
in helping to prevent ill health and treat people closer to home. My report announced that nurses
working for primary care trusts at the moment will be able, if they wish, to apply to set up
social enterprises in their own right and keep their NHS pensions. I heard throughout the last
12 months that some nurses want to be freed up to get on and provide the high quality care
that they wish to.
Coming soon.
