Clinical skills
The 'Clinical skills' section is the area on the site where you can learn something new about nursing practice and update your existing knowledge and skills. There are in-depth learning areas to help you get to grips with topics as well as shorter learning opportunities and updates. Whatever your current role – registered practitioner, health care assistant, manager, researcher, student or teacher – you will find something of interest to you and relevant to patient and client care.
The main learning areas in this section are:
- Continence
- Clinical audit
- Dermatology
- Preventing healthcare associated infections
- Safe glove use
- Patient safety
- Problem substance use in primary care
- Clinical guideline development
- Information disclosure
- Clinical updates
