Health care has a transversal aspect within health attention, as it occurs in different care areas and can be offered by different professional profiles, although they are the central axis of the nursing discipline. The group arises from the initiative of PC (Primary Care) nurses from Barcelona who want to value the work of health care. It is constituted mainly by nurses, both from the PC and the Hospital de la Santa Creu and Sant Pau and from the Nursing Department of the Universitat Autonoma de Barcelona. In addition, it has the participation of two family doctors (GPs) and an epidemiologist to ensure a comprehensive look and methodological quality of the group’s projects. The lines of work intend to deepen the results of health care, both at the group level and individually, as well as identify strategies that facilitate the transfer of results to clinical practice. Currently, the active lines are the promotion of health and the management of patients with chronic diseases. The group is interested in the aspects related to the development of the nursing discipline and in collaborating with other research groups contributing the specificity of health care.
