Patient satisfaction with colorectal cancer follow-up system: an audit
British Journal of Nursing - Tập 18 Số 1 - Trang 40-44 - 2009
Susan Wilkinson, Katie Sloan
Although there have been studies into intensive follow-up versus non-intensive follow-up of patients following colorectal surgery, the evidence has not demonstrated sufficient benefit in the intensive follow-up regimen to warrant change in practice nationally, and there are no national guidelines for this. Currently at the authors’ hospital the follow-up is non-intensive, and consists of ...... hiện toàn bộ

Prontosan wound irrigation and gel: management of chronic wounds
British Journal of Nursing - Tập 15 Số 22 - Trang 1222-1228 - 2006
Ann Horrocks
Chronic wounds present a challenge that is costly in terms of quality of life to the patient and in financial terms for the NHS. Several factors contribute to the development of a chronic wound, in particular the influence of bacteria as a biofilm within the wound environment. Irrigating a wound with normal saline has long been advocated as the most appropriate method of wound irrigation ...... hiện toàn bộ

Alan Finnegan, Sara Finnegan, Paula McGee, Robert Ashford, Robin Simpson

However, the authors feel that there are distinct benefits to serving within the Army, and that it provides effective occupational medical, MH and welfare support. This research study explores potential benefits and stressors ...... hiện toàn bộ
Are nurses blurring their identity by extending or delegating roles?
British Journal of Nursing - Tập 19 Số 5 - Trang 295-299 - 2010
Victoria Harmer
Nursing may be going through an identity crisis. The Department of Health commissioned research identifying where nurses stand within society (Maben and Griffiths, 2008), ‘with the stimulus for the report being the sense that nursing had lost its way’ (Maben and Griffiths, 2008). The professional identity of nursing appears to be unclear and an area where confusion and conflicting opinion...... hiện toàn bộ

Differentiating between a consultant nurse and a clinical nurse specialist
British Journal of Nursing - Tập 14 Số 8 - Trang 463-468 - 2005
Miles E Maylor
With the introduction of nurse consultants, and regulation of the use of the designation ‘specialist nurse’, experienced practitioners such as clinical nurse specialists have seen their position eroded. Nurse consultants are a new NHS-employment category, and are expected to be at the top rank of the profession both in status and in salary. However, this article argues that nurses at vari...... hiện toàn bộ
The abuse of specialist nursing titles must stop
British Journal of Nursing - Tập 6 Số 19 - Trang 1137-1137 - 1997
George Castledine
One of the most significant factors to emerge so far from the UKCC's specialist practice steering group, which I am chairing, is that working in a specialist field does not equate with being a specialist. Many nurses fail to grasp this point and, after qualifying from diploma-level preregistration courses, seek to undertake specialist nursing courses at degree level as a career step towar...... hiện toàn bộ
