Ruff stuff in the community

Lin Ward-Mitchell , Surrey district nurse

District nurse Lin Ward-Mitchell’s pet hates include the dogs, I cats and budgerigars she has been forced to come to terms with while attempting to treat her animal-loving patients

Animal hazards were nor at the top of the agenda when I did my district nurse .training. I do not recall anybody mentioning them, which was highly remiss. This is one area where a complete lack of theory belies the facts of practice.
