NET2019 - Developing an understanding of care home nurses' engagement with practice learning

Care home nursing sits across the artificial divide of health and social care and as such has a unique position in many ways, including practice learning. Recently educators and training providers have increased interest in care homes, leading to increased initiatives. There remains, however, little literature on the care home nurses’ own perspectives including barriers, enablers, and the training which would be valued. This qualitative research paper shares the findings of a MA project: Developing an understanding of registered care home nurses’ perspectives towards engaging with practice education in a north London locality.
