Rosalim, Jay P (2020) Service provision study on the implementation of nurse-led clinic in the Irish judicial system. Journal of Correctional Health Care, 26, (3), pp. 258-266. https://doi.org/10.1177/1078345820947693.
The exponential growth of the nurse-led clinic in the Republic of Ireland has proven to be effective in patients' care in the Irish community (National Council for Professional Development of Nursing and Midwifery, 2005). This initiative has been replicated in the penal environment and assumed to add value to the prison health care system. To date, this concept has never been explored. The main goal of this study was to examine this concept in this setting. It was hoped that the outcome of this inquiry will provide a better insight into the service, which can be used in the development of an evidence-based policy in the future.
