of both community and acute nursing services, the Queen’s Nursing
Institute, Health Education England and Royal College of Nursing.
With the aim of the book to enhance student knowledge of the
care delivered in the home environment, this booklet presents an
innovative, reusable resource which is not available elsewhere across
the United Kingdom.
Conclusion
The use of patient stories is known to bring the reality of the patient
experience, good or bad, to students and to enable learning by
applying case-study methods. Patient stories are an excellent
technique to embed student learning in the reality of experiences
of the end recipient of care and to raise awareness of the impact
of ‘simple things’ on their experience. It is hoped that this resource
will serve to enhance student awareness of the experiences of
District Nurses and their teams, providing learning situated in the
recollections of the patient users and carers.
The production of a resource that is professional in appearance
will enhance its use and provide a resource that can be shared. The
Queen’s Nursing Institute and Royal College of Nursing are keen
to ‘evidence’ the impact of District Nurses and their teams—this
resource may also go some way to evidencing the impact of this
‘Cinderella service’.
