Abstract

Patient articles in professional journals used to be seen
as an invasion of territory. Now patients are invited to
contribute. We need to share each others’ space if we are
to understand one another.So writes Mitzi Blennerhassett, one of the contributors.
This is the first in a series of special issues of Quality
in Primary Care that we plan to publish as a regular
feature. As well as this issue on the ‘Patient Perspectives
on Quality in Primary Care’ we are also planning
an issue on ‘Commissioning for Quality Improvement’
later this year and next year the ‘Development of
Nursing Practice and Scope’, ‘Professional Regulation’
and finally ‘Organisational and Educational Interventions
for Quality Improvement’.
