A belated Happy New Year to you all. In 2025, Primary Health Care’s commitment to providing top-notch education and continuous professional development continues unabated.
The business of gift-giving and receiving – specifically receiving – is something that affects nurses all year round, not just during the festive season. What do you do if a well-meaning patient insists on showing their gratitude by giving you a gift, perhaps some cash, or wants to name you as a beneficiary in their will?
Like other medical professionals, nurses are commonly faced with this tricky situation. The gift might be trivial but the consequences of accepting it could be significant and dire. Our analysis, Gifts for nurses: what if I’m given cash or named in a will?, offers some valuable guidance on politely handling this ethical hot potato.
Reinforce your knowledge on a key area of primary care nursing – insulin therapy
Another feature of the past season is the end-of-year quiz, that memory-challenging round-up of the year’s events and trivia, but there is absolutely nothing trivial about the quizzes we do in Primary Health Care.
Our CPD articles are designed to test the best, and Initiating insulin therapy in adults with type 2 diabetes: a practical guide provides an excellent opportunity to reinforce your knowledge on a key area of primary care nursing. And if you tackle the multiple-choice quiz online you can save it to your RCNi portfolio to help meet your revalidation requirements.
We have more CPD articles and all manner of practical content lined up for the coming year – and if you have an idea for an article, as always, feel free to drop me a line.
