We are about to start a nurse-led clinic for women attending this sexual
health service and currently planning to evaluate this clinic mid-1999
looking at effectiveness, acceptability and efficiency.
Nurse-led care in the UK has taken off over the past decade but there is a
definite paucity of rigourous evaluations to provide evidence for providers
and purchasers alike, to implement and continue such services. What I am
looking for is any evidence of clinical effectiveness, social acceptability
and cost effectiveness of nurse-led care generally, and even more
specifically, in the treatment of STDs.
Also looking for an appropriately tested patient satisfaction questionnaire
suitable for this acute outpatient area with a focus on quality of care
that is not too long, easy to administer etc.
Many thanks
