Health Screening Day at Antebuka
A request to help the first year student nurses learn about primary health care in the community led to their involvement in our Health Screening Day at KPC.
About 50 community and staff members attended the session.
Previously I had arranged two other health screening days with 22 and then 25 people attending so this one was very successful both as a training exercise for the nurses and also identifying potential health problems for those who attended. Thank you to the nurses who happily helped out so willingly. Great to see nurses doing preventative work in the community, something which I am passionate about, we can often prevent ill health by screening, information and advice which is so important.
