The future of health and care services
Integrating acute and primary care services to meet the challenges of ageing populations, long term conditions, complex non acute co-morbidities and the challenge of disease prevention all require an increased role for nursing, new skills, new roles of leadership, new team working and the adaption to a digital world evolving around and in health care.
