• This paper presents a small qualitative study examining district nurses' perceptions of health education in one community trust. • District nurses perceive health education to be an important part of the role. • There are various factors that both facilitate and constrain the district nurses' health education role. • District nurses feel that it is essential that their health education role is valued by other health care professionals; therefore evaluation of this function is seen as significant.
