Abstract

The Queen's Nursing Institute has published workforce standards for district nursing services in the UK. The standards are intended to provide top-level guidance to commissioners, service planners and managers about the key considerations when deciding on the number of staff, skill mix, and workload management tools needed to provide healthcare in the community setting. The standards are intended to support the evidence base around the number of suitably qualified and experienced district nurses needed to provide a service to a given population. The standards include 'red flags' that indicate when a service is at increased risk of deferring care due to lack of staff capacity.
