Community Nurse Kit Bags

Community Nurse kit bags donated by
Lions clubs

A generous donation from Lions Clubs
across the North Nottinghamshire area
has provided nurses from Bluebell Wood
Children’s Hospice with Community Nurse
Kit Bags, to take on home visits.
Retford Lions, Edwinstowe and Dukeries
Lions and Worksop and Mansfield Lions
chose to support Bluebell Wood Children’s
Hospice after hearing about the benefits of
the bags.
They contain a chilled compartment
for medicine, respiratory equipment, a
stethoscope, thermometer and iPads,
preloaded with medical software.
John Battersby of Retford Lions said: “We
were really impressed with the concept of
the Community Nurse Kit Bags, especially
as it will assist Community Nurses in often
difficult situations.
“As well as accessing medical software,
the nurses will also be able to take a short
video or photo on the iPads, to send to a
consultant. This quickens the process and
could really speed up a diagnosis.”
