Digital glucose monitors really are known for improving well-being. They can also substantially reduce the burden of disease for patients as well. This information comes from Dutch researchers and it just goes to show that the positive findings are going to support the release of even more devices for Type 1 patients in England. The new study was led by Henk Bilo and it followed over 1365 patients who had a form of diabetes. The team who monitored the study gave them wearable glucose monitors for a total of 12 months. The study overall is aimed to try and evaluate the benefits of the device while also seeing if it is possible to self-monitor the condition overall.
The Royal College of Nursing have gone as far to launch a survey in an attempt to find out more about the skincare and health issues that members experience. The main reason why they are doing this is because they want to try and reduce the impact that work-related dermatitis is having. The RCN have stated that they were working with their members to find out if they could share their experience for caring with their hands and to also find out if any support can be offered if they do experience a skin issue. Those who work in the industry of homecare or private nursing will know this more than anyone.
The new government needs to keep up with the promises that revolve around healthcare. If they don’t then they may end up facing the short shrift from the nurses who work on the front line. The conservatives came away with a landslide win and they have also managed to maintain a majority of 80 as well. They have also gained 47 seats since the last election. At the end of the day, it’s so important that the nursing profession remains at the heart of the debate and that every point is made to try and bolster the industry overall.
There have been various dates released for maternity support workers and midwives too. They are all going to vote on whether they should attempt to join their nursing colleagues in the industrial strike that is happening right now in Ireland. Healthcare workers across the area, including people from the Union and College, have already started to take action so that they can demand pay parity and even safe staffing as well. At the end of the day, they are currently being left with absolutely no option but to take this step. If you work in homecare or even in private nursing, then you will know more than anyone what a big deal this truly is.
