The evaluation of a community coronary specialist nursing service in Northern Ireland.

Providing an efficient service depends partly on evaluation, which itself should take into account, amongst other things, the clients' views. This study set out to evaluate clients' perception of a coronary specialist nursing service (CSNS) in one area health board in Northern Ireland. Postal questionnaires were sent to a random sample of 70 clients of the CSNS. Results showed that the majority expressed satisfaction with the service, as well as with the information they received prior to discharge into the community. Their responses provide food for thought to those involved in the provision of such services.

There is general agreement now that evaluation is an essential part of the education process. However there are methodological, political and ethical issues which still need to be addressed. In this paper a pilot study is described in which students carry out their own evaluation of parts of a curriculum using an approach which allowed them to use their own words to express their views on areas of concern to them.
