  Registered nurses studying for a qualification in community nursing (which now includes: practice nurses; district nurses; health visitors; psychiatric community nurses; independent and community midwives; and school nurses) need to be up to date with the many political and clinical issues facing their profession. There is currently great anxiety among members of the various branches of community nursing as to the future for each and the interplay betweeen each of their roles. This text comprises 10 commissioned chapters, each addressing a topical issue pertaining to the development of community nursing. The chapters have been written by the powers that be of that subject, so readers are getting factual accuracy and informed interpretations. There are definitions of key terms, concepts and phrases and summaries at chapter ends reinforce key points for the reader. The book should inform and help form the way forward for community nursing as a district nursing speciality.
