| Annotation | This study, in which a random sample of 1500 people aged 65 and over were interviewed in 1990 and again in 1992, examined older people's utilisation and opinions of primary care services. More older people in 1992 than in 1990 were aware that their general practice employed a nurse, consultation rates increased over the period, and respondents were very positive about their relationships with practice nurses. The role of practice nurses appears to be expanding, so there is an ongoing need for evaluation and training to enable nurses to better fulfil their enhanced role in the primary care team. |
