Local nurses and patients have starred in a short film encouraging new recruits to join Buckinghamshire Healthcare NHS Trust’s community nursing team – with the county itself providing stunning location footage.
District Nurse Yvonne Sakala and Community Staff Nurse Sarah Dunk took part to demonstrate why working as a community nurse is such a rewarding, highly skilled profession.
The real stars of the show, however, were patients Indeep and Elaine – who invited the cameras into their homes and explained the difference community nursing makes to their lives.
Indeep, who had a spinal cord injury and was treated and rehabbed at Stoke Mandeville Hospital’s National Spinal Injury Centre, said: “Community nurses like Yvonne and Sarah enable me to work and live an independent life. They keep me out of hospital which is the most important thing for me. They are the front line.”
