ABSTRACT
<b>Background:
</b> The authors, in collaboration with a nursing college and healthcare organizations, initiated a project, "Tama District (a suburban area in Tokyo) End-of-life Care Networking" for nurses, in order to provide networking opportunities for nurses who would like to work together in their local community. A survey was conducted to identify those nurses' needs before initiating this project. <b>Result:
</b> The first networking meeting was held based upon the survey results, and 39 nurses participated. The participants were from 14 hospitals, six home-visit nursing stations, and one home care support office in a northern area of Tama District and its surrounding areas in Tokyo. After having this meeting, it was identified that these nurses were highly motivated in providing better end-of-life care, and they had strong desires to network together and to exchange information about challenges and opportunities in their practice. <b>Conclusion:
</b> Future issues and implications included the following (1) Providing continuous opportunities for nurses with such meetings, and refining and updating programs to meet their needs; (2) Facilitating face-to-face relationships among individual nurses in this local community in order to facilitate better collaboration; (3) Initiating local activities that may improve and enhance nursing practice for patients and families who have health issues in their daily life.
