As we head into uncharted territory this winter, the anticipation anxiety is rife amongst colleagues. I'd like to remind people of @Frontline_19 which offers support for NHS staff. frontline19.com/

I am often asked what community nurses do. This is a great summary of my role as a proud Specialist Practice Qualified District Nurse and Specialist Palliative Care Nurse Consultant in the community. @StBarnabasLinc @hospiceuk @TheQNI #communitynursing vimeo.com/587749712?s=04

Replying to @alderton_liz
This is very concerning; there needs to be explicit recognition by government that care doesn't end when people are discharged from hospital - it falls to District Nurses, Care Home Nurses, and all the other teams who are working tirelessly in the community and primacy care

Omicron is a reminder that the pandemic is not over. I urge you to get your booster as soon as you can – and if you haven’t had your first or second jab, now is the time to come forward. It’s more important than ever to get boosted to protect our friends, family and NHS.

A clear and helpful tool for interpreting urinalysis. Don’t forget that dipstick is unreliable in over 65s, and catheterised pts - due to colonisation. That said, pH can indicate a reason for encrusted blocked catheters. As with all investigations, look πŸ‘€ at the whole pt.
We test urine samples on our paediatric patients every day. It's easy to take for granted that we know how to interpret urine dipstick results. But when it comes down to it, do we REALLY know what all the elements mean? Here are 9 steps to help you master the urine dip. πŸ§΅πŸ‘‡
