Developing a nurse-led service for COPD patients
1Respiratory Team, South Tyneside District Hospital, Tyne and Wear.
Abstract:
A rise in the rate of hospital admissions for patients with COPD has led to the development of nurse-led home care. A study in which a nurse-led team provided domiciliary treatment with ongoing follow-up, was found to be cost-effective and reduced the need for hospital care.
