Nurses who work at a children’s hospice have to make sure that they expand their skills so that they can then offer their skills and their expertise to children and others who might be under their care. This is a move which is going to ensure that they reduce the need to call GPs or even send kids to hospital. If you work in homecare or even in the sector of private nursing, then this is going to affect you.
Nurses at a hospice in Lancashire have tried to expand their skills and the support they can offer those under their care, as part of a move which hopes to reduce the need to call GPs in or send children to hospital. The nurses who have been care leaders over at the Derian Hospice in Chorley have now been able to complete the master’s qualification so that they can become advanced practitioners. They are now qualified to assess young people who are at the hospice and this is whether or not they are showing any signs of being unwell.
Moving forward, it would be safe to say that they are going to be working with the Lancashire Teaching Hospital. They are also going to be teaching their staff as well to ensure that everyone is up to date. Ms Ward has released a statement saying that she is truly excited about the opportunity and that she is beyond proud of what the hospice have achieved so far. They are very excited, and they believe that this service is going to really benefit those who need it the most. They have also described how they are over the moon with how things have come to pass so far. This is great news to say the least.
