S12 E7 - Community Nursing
Manage episode 344548829 series 2286605
Great to have you join us for another new episode of the MDTea Podcast, which today is all about community nursing. Outside hospital in the UK there are thousands of nursing staff who use their clinical skills and knowledge to support patients with long-term conditions and help maximise their independence.
Some of these will be district nurses and others will be nurse specialists in particular areas of medicine. This can include nurses specialising in diabetes, stroke, respiratory and cardiac care, tissue viability, mental health, palliative care and lots more.
Two of the roles that we see quite commonly in older patients are Parkinson's nurses and dementia nurses. We speak to two fantastic guests today to help us learn about these roles. Clare Addison is a vastly experienced nurse who is now living with Parkinson's disease, and Chris O'Connor is an admiral nurse in Surrey who spends his time caring for patients and families affected by dementia. Lots of wise words to take on board from both of them.
We've also got all our usual features, such as Paper of the Week, social media highlights and our One Minute Topic. If you'd like to get in touch, please find us on Twitter @mdtea_podcast, on Instagram @mdteapodcast or online at www.mdteapodcast.co.uk. We love hearing from you. Hope you enjoy the episode!
