After his wife’s death, he asked Mary Robinson to deliver nursing care to the poor of the city in their own homes. Impressed by the positive results, Rathbone worked with Florence Nightingale to develop the new service more widely. He helped create a nursing school in Liverpool to train nurses for the 18 districts of the city – and so organised ‘district nursing’ began. Manchester, London, and other cities followed suit. \n (\u003ca href=\u0022https://www.qni.org.uk/explore-qni/history-of-the-qni/\u0022 target=\u0022_blank\u0022\u003eLearn more\u003c/a\u003e)\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n Today, the District Nursing workforce is a critical part of the National Health Service (NHS) in all countries of the United Kingdom. District Nurses deliver care to patients in their own homes and communities everywhere, working closely with GPs, other community specialists, as well as patients, families, and carers. In doing so, they enable patients with long-term conditions to be cared for safely in their homes and help reduce unplanned hospital admissions.\n \u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n As the UK population ages, there is an imperative to support people to manage their own health conditions, which can often be most effectively achieved by working in partnership with District Nursing teams. However, one challenge is that the importance of their work is often not clearly understood by employers, the media, or the public. Working largely behind closed doors, the complexity and value of the specialist care they provide are frequently underappreciated. \n (\u003ca href=\u0022https://www.qni.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/District-Nursing-Today-The-View-of-DN-Team-Leaders-in-the-UK.pdf\u0022 target=\u0022_blank\u0022\u003eView report\u003c/a\u003e)\n \u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\u0022video-container\u0022\u003e\n \u003ch2\u003eShowcasing District Nursing\u003c/h2\u003e\n \u003cp\u003eThe following video, produced by The Queen\u0027s Nursing Institute in partnership with NHS Health Education England, highlights the vital role of district and community nurses, the various settings in which they operate, and the complexities of care they provide:\u003c/p\u003e\n \u003cfigure\u003e\u003ciframe width=\u0022560\u0022 height=\u0022315\u0022 src=\u0022https://www.youtube.com/embed/TmDuX2-Jcow\u0022 frameborder=\u00220\u0022 allow=\u0022accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\u0022 allowfullscreen=\u0022\u0022\u003e\u003c/iframe\u003e\u003c/figure\u003e\n \u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\u003c/main\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cfooter\u003e\n © 2024 District Nursing.
