What is Dressing Clinic ?
Dressing Clinic It is a nurse-led clinic. Aim of the clinic: • To provide a specialized nursing care to patients following discharge from hospital. • To allow patients access to a member of the medical team if necessary. • To take care of wounds in special situations. e.g.: diabetic patients. • To check wounds and give advices, also a chance to answer patients questions .
“ Dressing Clinic “ WHY?
Conclusion • The new signs made finding the clinics much easier. • The instruction poster helped the nurses and their work become less distracted and overall more effective. It also guided patients to utilize the waiting areas and save the corridors. • The privacy statements made patients more comfortable during their dressing. • The brochures made the home-dressing steps and diabetic-foot care instructions clearer.
Recommendations 1- Make a separate reception for the dressing clinic with the presence of a security personnel. 2- Translate the signs into other languages. 3- Put an electronic number machine.
