Abstract | As this chapter explores the role of the rural nurse in the provision of palliative care, it is worthwhile to spend a little time explaining the role and context of rural nursing practice, and how the context of practice impacts upon the scope of services that rural nurses can access to meet the needs of the terminally ill client. Following this, the chapter will focus on accessibility and delivery of palliative care services from the clients' and rural nurses' perspectives. The chapter will conclude that, for palliation to be successful in rural areas, more attention has to be paid to the skilling of rural nurses. Further, the very diversity of rural communities means that, for a rural palliative care service to be successful, this diversity must be recognised and taken into consideration in planning service delivery. |
