Consistent record keeping is an essential part of nursing practice. This article describes a project to improve and provide guidance for record keeping among Admiral Nurses
Abstract
Admiral Nurses are specialist nurses who support families affected by dementia. It was recognised that the nurses needed further support with the structure and consistency of their record keeping to ensure high standards were met and the complexity of their work was reflected. This article describes the use of a practice development approach to support Admiral Nurses in their record keeping practice. As a result of the project, best-practice guidance and a framework for writing was developed. Actively involving the Admiral Nurses in this process led to a positive response to the record-keeping framework supporting sustainable change.
