A fundamental shift in the use of Nurse Practitioners (NPs) in primary health care is also required. The under-utilisation of this highly skilled workforce is an ugly stain on Australian health policy. johnmenadue.com/creating-and-r…

One of my patients has dementia and won’t settle on night shift. He used to be a doctor. We’ve already been on our tea break, had coffee and a muffin, and he’s reviewing some ECGs I’ve given him. He falls asleep every now and then, but I think he’s doing a good job. ☺️

The complexity of nursing is hidden (often by nurses). Nurses contribution to patient safety is evidenced in over 1,000 papers & yet there is still a demand for more research - how do we help nurse leaders articulate that we don’t need more papers ?

Nursing is the largest safety critical workforce.Nurses are the air traffic controllers of healthcare. Vigilance - tacit knowledge - pattern recognition -managing never events - brokerage & absence of. None of these things are factored into demand / capacity models Prof Alison Leary 💙#ProtectNurse

Nurses quietly/sub-consciously make hundreds of minor adjustments/responses to patient care and care system around the patient bringing massive net benefit to safety/care/experience/flow.
