Clinical nursing rounds part 1: matrons' rounds.

To improve patient care, involve patients more and to improve communication, clinical rounds are being re-introduced to the Dudley Group of Hospitals. This article describes matrons' rounds, which can provide senior nurses with the opportunity to achieve key aspects of their role. These include ensuring professional and clinical nursing standards, improving infection control and cleanliness by implementing "A Matrons' Charter: An Action Plan for Cleaner Hospitals" (Department of Health, 2004), being visible and having a high profile for patients, and sorting out their concerns and supporting nursing staff in the clinical areas. Later articles will cover the other rounds.

Clinical nursing rounds part 2: nurse management rounds.

Clinical rounds are being introduced in the Dudley Group of Hospitals to improve patient care, involve patients and improve communication. There are four types of rounds: matrons' rounds, nurse management rounds, patient comfort rounds and teaching rounds. This article describes nurse management rounds, which involve the nurse in charge of the shift seeing each patient. This gives the nurse manager an overview of the condition and needs of all the patients on the wards and the ability of staff to meet these needs. These rounds have potential benefits for patients, relatives, for the nursing team and for other healthcare professionals.
