Patients and Service Users
‘’The most recent example was the gentleman who came to talk about living with cancer (which he had done over a number of years)’’.
‘’ Now retired but still very active, he was able to paint a picture of his life that lead up to where he is now. He shared old photos with some students who were particularly interested. This served to make the point that the life journey informs who the older person is, and nurses can provide more person centred care when they engage with and recognise this’’.
Practice Experience Currently Adult Nursing
