This paper describes the development of a nurse-led model of hospice care in a Welsh hospice when the medical model of hospice provision was no longer financially viable. It describes how the model has developed, allowing the nurse practitioner role to be extended to an autonomous level of hospice care not practiced anywhere else in the UK. The model has now secured the future of the hospice ensuring a sustainable service for the community it serves.
