Evaluating the nursing, midwifery and health visiting contribution to chronic disease management : An integration of three reviews

This report integrates the evidence from three related, but independent, reviews commissioned by the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) Service Delivery Organisation (SDO) to evaluate the nursing, midwifery and health visiting (NMHV) contribution to models of chronic disease management (CDM). The three reviews were the first phase of work of three larger projects specifically commissioned to add to the understanding of the contribution of nurses, midwives and health visitors to chronic disease management.
