Clinical supervision in nursing homes
Article Abstract:
Studies have shown that clinical supervision for nurses has beneficial effects on their work and their patients. It reduces boredom in staff, and increases confidence and creativity. These factors, together with evidence that clinically supervised nurses treat their patients with more respect and understanding, increase the importance of clinical supervision in the nursing home sector, where staff may feel isolated and undervalued and patients are vulnerable. It may be possible for the private sector nursing homes in the UK to learn from, and establish networks with, their NHS counterparts.

Continence problems: How to tackle reticence of patients
Article Abstract:
Three million adults suffer continence problems in the UK according to The Continence Foundation. Not all seek professional help due to embarrassment, therefore problems remain underdiagnosed and undertreated. The foundation advises health professionals to talk about 'continence problems' rather than 'incontinence' which has negative connotations for the majority of people. More preventive work is needed so that nurses are proactive and known how to undertake proper assessments.
