Every time I visit ward areas patients and relatives are confused by the same uniform as ward nurses.

]]> Sat, 16 Dec 2017 03:42:28 UTC 21943876 Dr Rona Agnew [Signature #366] https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/14252241?utm_medium=rss I have always been in favour of uniforms which support patients to know who is who on the ward. However the uniforms now are so impractical eg if you have body fluids on your uniform you need to pull it over your head. Also the colours do not reflect responsibility with DN's going into cornflower blue. These nurses are responsible for the management of the caseload similar to a ward. Why are they not in navy the same as the ward managers?
