December 2020

Our final issue of 2020 brings together a range of different voices that look back at the achievements and challenges of this year. Annette Kennedy, president of the International Council of Nurses, writes powerfully about her genuine concern for the wellbeing of nurses and Dr Barbara Stilwell, head of the global Nursing Now initiative warns that the profession still has a way to go to achieve the recognition it deserves. Meanwhile, intensive care nurse Vicky Neville reflects on her experiences and feelings while working a shift during the pandemic. In our clinical section, we feature articles exploring the importance of leadership during a crisis, applying research findings to the organisation of nursing care, and a model to improve safety on acute inpatient mental health wards.
