Congress discusses the vital role that nursing staff play in quality improvement

Do we have the capabilities, opportunities, and motivation to undertake the work.

The passion in the debate says YES we do!

UK GPN/MH Nurses, I have a genuine ask for your insights.

How much do you know about problem gambling?

Has a patient ever disclosed this was an issue in your field of practice?

Would you know where to direct them to for support?

👨‍🏫 Really enjoyed teaching aspiring medical students about health inequalities

- As they were 16yo we focused on how the wider determinants can manifest in ill health
- We tasked them to design an intervention to reduce CYP inequalities, using their experience

Was phenomenal!

‘If nurses are the lifeblood of the NHS we are anaemic and haemorrhaging at the same time’
