Hearing the nursing voice: Nursing Models and Care Homes

Hearing the nursing voice: Nursing Models and Care Homes

Scotland’s inaugural Social Care Nursing conference took place in March,  a significant highlight of the event was a dedicated workshop focused on the topic of nursing in care homes. Attended by a diverse group of over sixty participants, the workshop fostered engaging discussions revolving around various key questions.

The insights and outcomes from these discussions have been compiled and are now presented in a paper – ‘Hearing the nursing voice: Findings from the Scottish Social Care Nursing Conference Workforce – Nursing Models and Care Homes’ . We extend our gratitude to all the participants who actively contributed to the workshop, investing their time and expertise to share their invaluable views and opinions on nursing in care homes. The information gathered holds immense value, encompassing perspectives from individuals who work in care homes, those who provide support to care homes, and those who lead and manage these essential establishments.

We are delighted to share these valuable insights, as they shed light on the vital role of nursing in care homes and offer significant opportunities for enhancing the quality of care provided. This collaborative effort highlights the importance of open dialogue and knowledge-sharing to drive positive changes in the social care sector.
