Editor’s comment This exploration of nurse led clinics in the UK raises several important issues. Increasingly there is more evidence to demonstrate the effectiveness of nurses in these roles; perhaps we now need more evaluation of the cost effectiveness of such developments.

Summary

The topics included are patient satisfaction, the role of the nurse practitioner, the concept of caring, nurse led clinics, nurse education and patient education.
