This is brilliant. As a SEND parent & nurse I really welcome this! I also urge we consider how digital transformation can affect the services neurodivergent people access. The movement to remote support needs to ensure that staff have the skills to understand the communication needs of autistic ppl

This is also great!

The RCN are in a fantastic position to champion education for nurses in remote clinical decision making and digital inclusion!

Something for us to discuss @lukeintohealth.bsky.social

I think we have a meeting in the diary! 😊

Thank you for that feedback @digitalnursecymru.bsky.social.

I completely agree - remote consultations have their place, but their use certainly needs to be carefully considered, especially for CYP and SEND.
