Nursing will continue its commitment to keep pace with such developments in order to keep you at the forefront of diabetes care in both the primary and secondary sectors. The journal is an ideal forum through which to share ideas and research. By grasping this opportunity, nurses can push back the boundaries of diabetes care. We hope that many of you will continue to use this publication as a vehicle for debate and discussion. The publication and sharing of original research is paramount to the advance of any profession.
Major consideration is given to the implications of research for practice.
The journal should be seen as a vehicle for debate and discussion and the letters pages represent an excellent forum for views to be aired. Such views are either in response to something that has appeared in the journal or they may confront any issue of interest to diabetes nurses. The LINK is unique as nowhere else can readers receive information from all the different diabetes groups, together in one place. The section provides a forum through which such groups can debate activities, news and current issues. It is a publication which can reach all nurses involved in the care of people with diabetes and enable them to share ideas, knowledge and expertise.
