Abstract
• Interprofessional working relationships of nurses and doctors have been
discussed in the literature but are less frequently the subject of research.
• A review of international research on nurse–doctor professional relationships
conducted over 30 years (1966–99) shows that the relationship is of interest
predominantly to nurses.
• From a series of interviews with nurses and doctors, as part of a case study of
four rural health services, harmonious working relationships between nurses and
doctors were examined.
• Further analysis reveals many aspects of nurse–doctor relationships that are
traditional and common across many contexts. There are, however, some aspects
that are specific to the rural nature of the working context and relate well to
contemporary advances in nursing knowledge and confidence.
