In each issue we investigate a hot topic currently affecting you and your community practice. Here, we ask "What will the Year of the Nurse and Midwife mean for the UK’s community staff?"
Health and social care have seen significant pressures over the last few years, namely:
Captain Fearless is a nine-year-old girl who battles Wheeze Monsters with just her inhalers, spacer, bicycle bell and her magic goggles. The Big Bad Wolf has developed asthma and needs children’s help to know which inhaler to take and when, to blow the piggies’ house down.
I’m a nurse that tells stories with a health message. And I’m writing this editorial to encourage you to do the same and to explain why you should.
