My placement at a GP surgery as a student nurse working with the GP nurse, I have enjoyed this experience so far and have gained knowledge in areas like patient medication review, diabetes check, asthma review, travel vaccinations, children immunization, health education, management of long term conditions, wound care, home visits and smear test.

throughout the 7weeks of placement I have been able to better my understanding on how important it is to review patient medication to see if their allergy or side effects to medication their on, also broaden my knowledge about wound care such as the type of dressing will determine if the healing process will be quick.

developing patient nurse therapeutic relationship such as ensuring privacy and dignity, promoting informed consent before a procedure is conducted , understanding time management for patient appointment booking and how long a patient consultation is meant to take within that I learnt how to take patient medical history to see if their need health check.

if after reviewing the patient it clinically indicate risks of health crisis I will liaise with the doctor and document patient consultation appropriately.
