The heart of communication
Article Abstract:
The main aspect of primary care is care planning, but a good deal of preparation is necessary. The primary nurse should assess patients when admitting them to the ward and work out a care plan. The care plan will contain details of any problems, a timetable of care and evaluation dates, and will ensure continuity of care. The implementation and control of the plan is the responsibility of the primary nurse.

In-patient sleep disturbance: the views of staff and patients
Article Abstract:
Hospitalised patients need more sleep than a well person. They should have more than the average of 7.25 hours a night. However, hospital patients often have poor quality or disturbed sleep. Patients in bays are disturbed as often as those in Nightingale wards. The practice of waking patients early should be rethought. Half of patients do not like settling or waking times.
