Clinical skills are a fundamental aspect of district nursing care. The District Nursing Manual of Clinical Procedures is a practical, evidence-based manual of clinical skills which reflects the unique challenges of district nursing care within the patients home. It provides a comprehensive resource for all district nurses, community nurses, students and healthcare professionals involved in the district nursing team, enabling them to practice competently and confidently and deliver clinically effective, person-centred care.
The District Nursing Manual of Clinical Procedures addresses the complexity of district nursing care and encompasses key aspects of clinical practice, including decision making in areas that district and community nurses often struggle with or find difficult when they are on their own in a patients home. It utilises the latest clinical research and expert clinical knowledge to address these challenges, and to provide the underlying theory and evidence for district nursing care.

Foreword
The home is a special place for nursing.
It is special for the person receiving care, because it is their environment, and, unlike in hospital, they are in control. Inviting a health professional into their home is an act of trust for the individual. They trust that they will not be judged on the basis of their environment, their style of living or their family. In hospital, they are a patient, and with the best will in the world, ward staff can only know the patient to a superficial degree, based on what he or she chooses to tell them or show them. At home, the individual can only be themselves, and the nurses who treat them there see them as they are.
Home is also a special place for the nurse to practice. Community nurses are privileged to be invited into peoples lives and homes. They have to be adaptable, professional, inventive and highly-skilled to deliver complex care in these very diverse environments. And the demands on their skills are growing all the time. Technology, demographics, economics and patient choice are all increasing the pressure to keep people at home rather than in hospital, no matter how serious, complex or unstable their condition.
