May 2022

The May 2022 issue of Nursing Times focuses on reflective practice, a key skill for nurses that is required for successful revalidation. We feature articles looking at what it is to be a reflective practitioner and why reflection needs to be more than a paper exercise. Linked to the topic of reflection, a group of newly registered nurses has spoken to us about preceptorship and their mental health. The news section also rediscovers the life and work of trailblazing Victorian-era nurse Annie Brewster and pulls together all the key nursing headlines from Unison’s annual health conference. And don’t miss our article looking at the evidence for managing audible respiratory secretions – also known as ‘death rattle’ – at the end of life. Meanwhile, Professor Ruth Northway looks forward to this year’s International Nurses Day.
