A public health approach to nursing in the community.

This article, the first in a three-part series on public health, promotes the case for community nurses to grasp the opportunities a public health approach to care offers to populations and communities. The importance of organisation and evaluation are emphasised as is the need for support from colleagues which, argue the authors, can only be obtained if the benefits of this approach are made clear. The second article in the series will appear next week.
