NURSING AND EDUCATION PLATFORM

Writing "The commodity of care" was  a bit like knitting  a jumper, or was I unravelling it? I may have dropped  a few stitches on the way !

Why do I say this? The work began by exploring patient care- largely at the bedside,  and resulted in a far bigger picture extending to the treatment of war veterans or stolen body parts. All political. Commencing gathering literature 30 years ago, and talking to staff of all levels and other individuals, I find that many are aware of the issues and able to give examples, such as fake certificates. Perhaps it is a case of the information is there and needs building on.

Comments from student nurses are particularly uplifting, like the example of  a student nurse who raised issues of quality of care at her placement and was well supported by the University.

Anyway here is hoping that this piece of knitting is extended by many other knitters!!
