AB In 1985 the Dutch AIDS care programme was introduced. We started in the
Academic Medical Centre, a large university hospital in Amsterdam (900
beds). The team consisted of a physician and two nurses who were trained
to work as AIDS Consultants. This has proven to be a successful
construction to cope with many new developments. The tasks of the AIDS
Consultant Nurses within the programme included direct patient care in
the out patients clinic, the organization of home-health care and the
education of health care workers, especially nurses. In 1990 the Dutch
Ministry of Health funded 11 hospitals for specific care of HIV infected
patients, in order to spread these facilities over the country and to
integrate AIDS care in the regular health care institutions. The
Academic Medical Centre was appointed as national reference hospital for
AIDS care. The 'centre' hospitals with an AIDS function employ
physicians and consultant nurses who are experts on the field of AIDS.
Both diciplines are available for consultation by other hospitals and
general practioners. In a national working group of AIDS Consultant
Nurses we exchange our experiences and together we see to it that the
essential knowledge is spread among nurses in the country. The
establishing of AIDS Consultant Nurses, employed by centre hospitals
with an AIDS function, might serve as an example for AIDS Care in other
(in particular Asian) countries.
