I’m a community nurse based in a deprived area of South Wales -here is a quick answer to the questions received.

I feel as a team we would benefit from having an administrative role where by they deal with our photocopying, archiving, discharging, referrals, post, arranging work lunches, team meetings, handovers, arranging daily lists for staff members to allocate in order to free up our time to spend where it’s needed such as patient care, documentation, training, e learning, shadowing, MDT’s, attending meetings and delivering care in the community.

If this was implemented as well as android tablets to work from instead of chrome books Patient documentation would improve, access to patients info would be faster and more efficient, access to mails, guidelines, protocols, referrals etc everything could be done on our laps in the patients home. Time efficiency  would improve drastically.

Many thanks
