  • Title: The whole story.
    Author: Sadler C.
    Journal: Nurs Stand; ; 20(29):20-2. PubMed ID: 16605226.
    Abstract:
    Community matrons have a dual role in the care of people with long-term conditions: nursing and co-ordination. The aim is to manage patient care so that hospital admissions can be reduced, especially those that result from a crisis. Community matrons make detailed assessments of their patients' health and social care needs. They work across traditional boundaries, such as secondary care and social services. Medication management is part of their remit. Patients are visited and reviewed regularly.
