  The face of community health care nursing is changing rapidly. New frameworks and action plans set up by the Government and the UKCC are necessitating the development of specialist community health practitioners who possess a range of skills to work across the health care domain, whilst focusing on specific areas of practice. The editor and his staff have implemented a new curriculum framework which encompasses these new competencies. This text explains the new competencies, whether common core, specialist or advanced, and provides skill-mix reviews of the rationalization of the organization and provision of primary health care tams and their members. It should be a useful reference resource for students, current practitioners and curriculum planners.
