flag Nurse-led care matches or exceeds doctor-led care in safety, effectiveness, and satisfaction for many conditions, supporting expanded nurse roles.

flag A large Cochrane review of 82 studies involving over 28,000 patients across 20 countries finds that nurse-led hospital care is as safe and effective as doctor-led care for many conditions, with similar patient outcomes in mortality, safety, and satisfaction. flag In areas like diabetes, cancer follow-up, and dermatology, nurse-led care even outperformed doctor-led care. flag While doctors slightly led in sexual health and abortion follow-ups, overall results support expanding nurse roles to address staffing shortages. flag Success depends on proper training, support, and care models, with mixed cost findings. flag Most evidence comes from high-income countries, especially the UK, highlighting the need for more research in diverse settings.
