A community oncology nursing progra

A community oncology nursing programme was developed in Ireland between
the hospital and community health services for patients receiving systemic
cancer therapy, in response to a service need. A robust evaluation of the pilot
programme was undertaken, which found that defined clinical procedures
traditionally undertaken in hospitals were safely undertaken in the patient’s
home with no adverse effects. There was a dramatic decrease in hospital
attendances for these defined clinical procedures, and hospital capacity
was consequently freed up. Patients valued having aspects of their care
delivered at home and reported that it improved their quality of life, including
reduced hospital visits and travel time. Community nurses expanded their
scope of practice and became partners with oncology day-ward nurses in
caring for these patients. Community nurses developed the competence and
confidence to safely deliver cancer care in the community. This initiative
shows that defined elements of acute cancer care can be safely delivered in
the community so long as the training and support are provided. The findings
and recommendations of the evaluation resulted in university accreditation
and approval for national roll-out of the programme. Integration of services
between primary and secondary care is a key priority.This innovative
programme is a good example of shared integrated care that benefits both
patients and health-care providers.
