The registered nurse role
Nursing in a care home is clinical work with continuity that a ward cannot offer. You know the residents, you see how a condition moves over months, and you are usually the most senior clinician in the building.
The caseload is long-term conditions, frailty, dementia, wound care, catheters, syringe drivers and end of life care, alongside supervising the care team on shift and liaising with GPs and district nurses.
