Policies and procedures ensure that all patients receive the best care. It is one of the most important frameworks which makes our organisation accountable for bringing in the clinical improvements and also to render safe care to the clients. Nurses, midwives and managers therefore share the common goal of optimising patient care.

Sometimes I find it really hard to make time for my learning, but I was blown away by how easy it is with the Ausmed app. I can fit it in during breaks or on the bus to work.
