About this episode of Science & Beyond
In the final episode of this series, we dive into the inspiring journey of Keshav, who transitioned from managing hospitals in Nepal to working directly with patients in the Bone Infection Unit (BIU).
His passion for personal care, mobility support, and creating a cheerful environment highlights the diverse role of nursing assistants. We discuss real-life challenges, including managing verbally aggressive patients and how textbook de-escalation techniques don’t always translate to reality. We explore the training nursing assistants receive, taking a deep dive into pressure ulcers, moisture lesions, and the intricate layers of skin—examining blanchable versus non-blanchable wounds and the severity of deep tissue injuries.
Finally, we reflect on the emotional legacy of Oliver McGowan and the evolution of NHS training in learning disabilities and autism, inspired by his mother’s powerful advocacy. This episode is packed with insights, experiences, and thought-provoking discussions that will leave you both informed and inspired.
