Abstract
Health care is being affected by a number of trends, all of which will impact upon the delivery of services within the NHS and beyond. Fundamental changes in the delivery of services within acute and primary care, together with the changing shape of nursing, have created opportunities for the profession to influence the alternative patterns of health and social care delivery. These issues will be addressed in this chapter, together with the opportunities that exist for building bridges between the plethora of health and social care, and voluntary organisations. Lessons learnt from the challenges and opportunities that hospital nurses face will be applied to community nurses as they develop the government agenda of a more primary care led service.
