QNI carer resources for practice and school nurses

The QNI has created resources for school and practice nurses involved in supporting carers. They cover various areas such as safeguarding, referral, and the burden of care. The school nurse resource focuses on supporting child carers. Other topics covered by the resources include mental health, physical health, learning disabilities and dementia. Each resource is broken into seven different modules. They cover topics such as signposting carers, carer needs assessments, and the role of the nurse in supporting carers. The resources are free and can be downloaded from the QNI website. The QNI released similar resources for district nurses last year.
