Why loss and lack of recruitment of district and community nurses resulting in rise in avoidable hospital admissions and delayed discharge of old patients @TheQNI @QNI_Scotland @RCNDNForum @WeCommNurses @ADNEuk @jagreen121 @SamSherrington @alisonleary1 rcni.com/primary-health-care…

Leadership is not an exact formula. It can be messy & hard to put in a structure at times. That’s because humans are free flowing, emotional creatures with messy traits. So when you feel like you’re not doing a great job, remember that this isn’t a tick box exercise. It’s life.

Value time spent today with some of our Edinburgh District Nursing and Community Nursing teams from north west. Despite the challenges you couldn’t help to be impressed by their commitment to providing high quality person centred care @NHS_Lothian @EdinburghHSCP
