Working with older people with multiple long-term conditions

This qualitative study from New Zealand was published in The Journal of Advanced Nursing recently.  It aimed to gain an insight into how nurses work with this patient group and adopt a navigation role with them in the context of primary health care.  Interviews with nurses illustrated that while they lacked a complete understanding of the concept of patient navigation, the nurses were adopting many elements of professional navigation models.
