A wonderful presentation and a very good read.
I support all the points that Veronique made about patient care and nursing practice. Her sense of humour is good medicine for healthy practice and happy patients.
Veronique thank you for the great article. Even though I am a paediatric nurse I found it useful, an eye opener and am encouraged to be a better advocate for those in my care ,whether in hospital or in a community care setting. And I learnt about the HESTA tool which I did not know and think it is a great tool. And in my work will remember it and ask useful questions to get information that will help me give better care. Im in the UK. Thank you
