Effectiveness of nurse-led clinics on healthcare delivery: An umbrella review.

Despite the heterogeneous nature of the systematic reviews, along with some quality issues in reporting, there was evidence that nurse-led services provided comparable or superior care to usual care with high levels of patient satisfaction. There was a lack of reporting on the impact of nurse-led clinics on patient access to health care; further research is required on this area. Health service managers should consider nurse-led clinics an effective innovation in health service provision.
