An eleven-part learning series for nurses with Nicola Lakeman.

Covering all aspects of medical nursing, this series aims to provide you with the confidence to go back into practice fully-equipped to deal with even the most challenging of cases.

We begin by looking at care bundles, nursing care plans and protocols, including how to implement them in your practice. We then move on to how to identify the needs of medical patients and incorporate them into your nursing care plan. The nursing of specific medical cases, nutritional assessments and supportive feeding of hospitalised cases are also covered.
