Working with care homes: new initiatives for integrated care

Abstract

This quarterly column sheds some light on the lesser known area of cardiac nursing in care homes, looking at nurse-led diagnosis and management of cardiac conditions. In this final instalment, Helen Cowan interviews qualified nurse, Leah Bressington, about her roles as a newly-appointed care home fellow at the British Geriatrics Society and within the One Weston Care Home Hub, and their potential to improve care for residents in care homes.
