In this TeamUP! teamBIT Morgan is on his own again. This time he's talking about how to plan and promote a dedicated “nurse clinic” in your primary care practice to boost the presence of new nursing staff in your practice. The discussion includes selecting a focus area for the clinic, organizing appointments, and effectively promoting the clinic through various channels.
Examples given include clinics for blood pressure, immunizations, well-baby checks, diabetic foot checks, and STI screenings. The episode also emphasizes the importance of teamwork and patient engagement, with insights on making nurse clinics an accessible and valuable addition to practice.
