2020 Vision - Focusing on the Future of District Nursing

This major new QNI report was launched at a meeting of district nurses at Bingfield Primary Care Centre in Islington, London, in 2009. Since then, more than 6,000 copies have been requested by district nurses, managers and educators, as well as educational institutions, from across the UK and overseas.

‘2020 Vision’ looks back at the heritage of the past 150 years of district nursing and offers insights and predictions about the future of district nursing over the next decade to 2020.

As financial and other pressures lead to more changes in the delivery of essential nursing services, as well as far-reaching organizational change, we believe that this report is essential reading for everyone concerned with the nursing care of people in their own homes. From pre-registration students and their teachers to experienced district nurses and their teams, it is essential that we share a vision in which the traditional values and principles of district nursing are delivered in a 21st century context, and with 21st century tools, to meet the needs of today’s patients and their families.
