032: High Performance Nursing Care with Liam Caswell
Self-care is defined as “what people do for themselves to establish and maintain health, and to prevent and deal with illness.” However, this is one skill that many nurses seem to neglect.
In this episode, we get to chat with Liam Caswell, leader of High Performance Nursing, a community of nurses who seek to transform their nursing practice, workplace culture and service provision to deliver high performance nursing care in a sustainable manner.
Nurses are compassionate people who usually put their patient’s health, safety, and well-being before their own. But in order to give the best care to our patients, it is essential that we fill our own cup first.
