Patient feedback
she gave me a lot of information as to what was
going to happen in the future and she was clear
about the choices I had I knew from talking to
her what I was going to do what the CNS did was
to really humanise my experience

Quotes .
Would like to see the development of ward based
CNS not related to specific disease
(Managers) as healthcare becomes more
specialised it is fitting within this model
(DoN) because the role is so specialised they
have the most up to date knowledge and can pass
this on (staff nurse/midwife)
