So nurses are often quite reticent about discussing research. They often lack confidence and don’t think that they’re particularly experienced. So the purpose of this session was really to enable nurses to think about how evidence is used and how research is used in clinical practice. So we use this opportunity to highlight the use of evidence in infection control and prevention in mucositis and in long-term follow-up protocols.
Yeah, I think we’re gifted with some really clear guidelines that are adopted nationally. And so these really help us to build local protocols, which are absolutely perfect for nurses to implement in long-term follow-up clinics and enable us to standardize the assessment and follow-up care that we provide, not just from a physical perspective, but also from a psychosocial perspective. So that lends itself to delivery of holistic care.
The beauty of the guidelines is that they’ve been written with clinical application in mind. So this enables us to incorporate those quite easily into our protocols. So we can implement a systematic assessment when the patients come through to the clinic. And that systematic assessment, which we apply in a standardized way, enables us to detect long-term complications as they arise.
