  19. Which nurse is more skilled?

  20. Why does this matter? Taking on menial biomedical tasks and passing on menial care tasks has created a harmful hierarchy in which care is devalued Optimum care does not take more time than dealing with impact of lack of care (default, MDR) Care embracing all core values (holistic nursing care) seen as a luxury available IF time and resources allow

  21. Core values and nursing care • Holistic nursing care is complex and multi-faceted • Simple tasks often require embodied high- level skills • Requires academic training • Relies on research

  22. Who is best placed to: • Define what nurses do? • Decide what resources nurse need to deliver good quality care? • Monitor what nurses do? • Assess the challenges they face? • Solve nursing issues? • Recommend level of investment?

  23. Why revisitCore Nursing Values?

  24. What helps or hinders you being the nurse you want to be?

  25. Tipping the balance…. • How do wemake sure patients are in the best state for nature to cure them? • How do wemake sure nurses are in the best state to care?
