Clinical Nursing Procedures

The agency nurse is required to implement a person-centered nursing care plan that is based on an initial assessment of the patient’s care needs and is agreed with the patient.
The provision of nursing care and re-assessment of the patients ongoing care needs, are agreed with the patient, monitored and recorded on a day-to-day basis.
The results and outcomes of any treatment and care are clearly explained to patients and any options available to them are discussed.
The nursing care plan and ongoing care needs are reviewed and agreed with patients and their carers/ representatives at time intervals as recorded.
Arrangements are in place to ensure that private patients in their own homes are kept fully informed of issues relating to the care provided by our agency nurses and that they are able to make comments about the quality of care provided.
The agency nurse will take part in clinical supervision sessions on a regular basis.
