Impression and Reflection from UK Training Experience on Integrated Care Nursing in the Community

The experience of clinical attachment to the UK healthcare setting was valuable to enrich one’s exposure to worldwide HOSPITAL AUTHORITY CONVENTION 2018
standard of care and to inspire one’s mindset for better services. The author gained experience in a four-week attachment
at a number of integrated care settings in UK in 2016. The integrated care and support service was person-centred and
coordinated to meet the needs of individual, their carers and families. This more holistic approach enhances empowerment
of people to manage their chronic diseases and health issues. The most impressive services provided in the community
included the rapid response service from Croydon Community Health Service Center, which is a 24/7 intensive nursing and
crisis management service for homebound patients; the intravenous therapy of the Haunslow and Richmond Community
Center that aims at avoiding hospital admission; the nurse-led warfarin clinic in York Medical Practice Clinic exhibits the
independent role of nurse practitioner and the House of Common and the Royal Star and Garter Homes for dementia people,
which is a nursing home with five stars “luxury hotel setting” providing special elderly and dementia-friendly infrastructures
tailored to the people with dementia. In Hong Kong, similar services had been established with encouraging outcomes. The
author highlights the FLASH presentation on dementia care in acute ward setting being an innovation for educating dementia
care knowledge to frontline staff at geriatrics ward.
