12 mins well spent on why valuing #socialcarenursing is so important. If I had my time again to choose an area of nursing then I would choose social care nursing all over again! #personcentred #olderpeople #positiveattitudeonageing

Proud to be a #queensnurse & a career #carehomenurse - 22yrs! Always a strong advocate for personhood, for ensuring all residents in care homes are seen & respected. My poster this evening, illustrated the importance of #namaste care for those living with advanced dementia.
