| Annotation | Admiral Nurses provide much needed support in the community, but their growing role in care homes has had less attention. The Order of St John Care Trust (OSJCT) was one of the first care home provider organisations to employ an Admiral Nurse to provide in-house dementia specialist consultancy, training, advice and support. An independent evaluation of the My Home Life Admiral Nurses (MHLAN) considered the nature of the MHLAN role, the form it takes, and the extent to which it fits within the Admiral nursing competencies and the My Home Life framework. The evaluation also considered the impact of the post across OSJC, its care homes, staff and residents. Recommendations are made for the future development of the role within OSJCT and the care home sector. (RH). |
