'Nurses must maximise use of Shape of Caring'

摘要

The Shape of Caring Review brought 34 recommendations for the training and education of nurses - both pre- and post-registration - and most of them have been welcomed by the profession. Of course many of its recommendations are aiming to improve the quality of nurse education and to ensure it prepares nurses to practise in modern healthcare. Adding a community branch to pre-registration education and offering more support to healthcare assistants in developing the skills to provide care (page 4) may alleviate problems that currently challenge providers. They should not be dismissed, but rather explored and considered.
