ABSTRACT
The advent of 'NHS Direct', has centred attention on nurses giving telephone advice as part of the provision of out of hours medical care. A three month retrospective study of telephone consultations by nurses at the MRS Sennelager showed that telephone consultation greatly contributes to "out of hours" medical care. The outcome of telephone consultations made out of hours revealed that in 70% of telephone calls the advice given enables the patient to stay at home. Twenty eight percent of patient contact out of hours was by telephone.
