True domiciliary health care services are not fully developed yet in Britain. The limited reports from this country and more extensive ones from abroad, indicate the potential of such schemes. The Peterborough Hospital at Home scheme (HAH) has been operating for 10 years and provides a valuable model for the development of a home care service. It has proved of particular value in a variety of patient groups. Terminally ill patients, those discharged early after operation, the elderly and children; all have derived benefits from home care. However, for a service to function efficiently, it must be of sufficient size, be fully integrated and organisationally responsive to changing needs and professional roles.
真正的居家医疗服务在英国尚未得到充分发展。该国有限的报告以及国外更广泛的报告表明了此类计划的潜力。彼得伯勒居家医院计划（HAH）已经运营了10年，为居家护理服务的发展提供了一个有价值的模式。它已在各种患者群体中证明具有特殊价值。绝症患者、术后早期出院的患者、老年人和儿童；所有人都从居家护理中受益。然而，要使一项服务高效运作，它必须有足够的规模，完全整合，并在组织上能够响应不断变化的需求和专业角色。
