Community nursing in Scotland

This short RCN Scotland film provides a snapshot of what community nursing is in Scotland – where you’ll find the teams; who they care for; and a few facts and figures.

Many headlines around nursing in Scotland focus on hospitals, but community teams are under enormous strain too. Community nursing teams must have the skills, knowledge and resources to be able to deliver highly complex clinical care to people in their homes and in homely settings.
