Our commentary explores the growing dominance of quantitative methods & what it might mean for the profession. Read it here: doi.org/10.1136/ebnu...

What version of #nursing do we help students to see? Curricula shape more than knowledge. They shape professional identity. This paper reflects on the importance of making #community, #PublicHealth and social care nursing visible in #NursingEducation. You can read it here: doi.org/10.1136/ebnu...

Wishing happy #InternationalNursesDay to all nurses, nursing associates and students, especially those working in children’s #PalliativeCare. I’m lucky to have worked with and learned from so many brilliant nurses who make a difference to babies, children, young people and their families, every day

Reportedly Wes Streeting will vote against the assisted dying bill saying “end-of-life care is currently not good enough to give people a real choice” Does the health sec realise how much EoL care continues to be charitably funded…? Perhaps addressing PEoLC funding first isn’t too wild an idea.
