Challenging the belief that fundamental care for hospitalised patients is basic @AlfredHealth @Alfred_Research @Flinders @DeakinQPS Nursing research changing practice to improve outcomes #Nursing
Great to be at @AlfredHealth #Nursing #Research Forum (with some people in person too!). Fantastic talk by @tconroy9 on #Fundamental Care - I really like the idea of “task & time” versus “thinking & linking” in terms of nursing practice. #personcentredcare

There is *lots* of flu around right now. No question that the season has come hard and early. Don’t wait to get vaccinated - grab it now at your GP or pharmacy.

Nurses as angels and sacrificial heroes? @j_stokesparish unpicking the portrayal of nurses in media & politics. #2022ASMSydney @ANZICSACCCN_ASM Nurses are uncomfortable with these historical portrayals. We are highly skilled professionals. Hear us roar our dissent.
