This collaborative project between clinicians from a district nursing service and nurse academics supported quality improvement in a continence nursing service. This project was supported by an action research method. It was dynamic and informed by literature and integration of data collected during interviews with district nurses, an audit of client notes and field observations. The main outcome was a change in the delivery of continence nursing service using generalist nurses to a service provided by specified nurses with an identified interest in continence management. A further outcome was the introduction of nurse-led clinics within a specialist urology and gynaecology setting. Triage of initial referrals by a specialist nurse also proved beneficial. This project demonstrated the value of this type of collaborative alliance between industry and education institutions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
