The aim of this study was to explore what
learning, development, and support PC-CNSs in one hospice need to enable them
to fulfil all components of their role: clinical practice, education, research, and
leadership and management. They identified that both organisational culture and individuals themselves influenced the
learning and development support available. Working relationships and stability within teams
affected how supported individuals felt and had implications for managers in
meeting the needs of staff while balancing the needs of the service.
