British Journal of Nursing Awards 2019 success for SEHSCT Team
2nd prize in the 2019 BJN Chronic Oedema award was presented to Vivienne Murdoch for her role in the SEHSCT’s project looking to educate GP Practice nursing teams within the trust area. The aim was to ensure that all patients with simple chronic oedema in each practice were identified, correctly diagnosed and managed, and that the permanent staff in each practice gained a full knowledge of simple oedema management. Additionally, those identified with more complex oedema were referred to the lymphoedema team.
