The concept focuses on continuity of care based on a professional model of practice in which a qualified professional is responsible and accountable for a caseload of patients for the entire duration of their care. For the nursing profession this has, over recent years, led to a change in focus from a taskcentred approach to one which is patient-centred. For most of the other health care professionals, for example, physiotherapists, dietitians, etc., a patient-focused approach has been common practice for many years.
