The perceptions of men in nursing shows that overall, although negative, societal and stereotypical views still persist; these views are slowly changing. Men continue to face challenges in nursing but perhaps as more men assume positions of leadership it will help start the reversal of the gender bias found in nursing among the dominment gender.

If I worked in a hospital the department I would choose is the Neonatal Unit so that I can help severely ill babies to survive and most of all get the best chance they can in their childhood future; I believe that everybody deserves to strive and to live in happiness- No child deserve to have their future taken away from them so soon.

In the United Kingdom, mortality increased by about one-third. Mortality from liver cirrhosis was also comparatively high in Central Asian countries. Yes I was surprised as Liver cirrhosis is a significant cause of global health burden, with more than one million deaths in 2010. Our study identifies areas with high and/or rapidly increasing mortality where...

Liver Cirrhosis is a major yet preventable and underappreciated cause of global health loss. Variations in cirrhosis mortality at the country level reflect differences in prevalence of risk factors such as alcohol use and hepatitis B and C infection. Global liver cirrhosis deaths increased from around 676,000 in 1980 to over 1 million in 2010. Over the same...

I have learnt that from Charlotte's and Tom's story that no matter what your disability is that no matter what disability you may have whether it is mild or severe; you can always aim to live the best life you want.

I can relate to the culture in the term "Doctor's knows best" as I know that my doctors have known me for a very long time. I know that they have allot of knowledge regarding liver disease. I know that they know what is best for me and they do absolutely everything they can to help support me and most of all to help make sure my liver condition does not worsen.

Maisie Spicer made a comment
I feel that no matter what your disability is that everyone has the right to live their own lives and make every day count like it's their last. They also have the right to live their lives how they would like to without any judgement but allot support and people to talk to if they ever need any support.

I believe that having the personalised support care plan put in place will help people and for them to help the people that they care for as well.

My helpful top tips is that to never hold back in asking anything that is worrying you to your GP or Doctor. If you have any questions; always write them down and ask your doctor; they are always their to help, support you and to listen to you. Never be afraid to ask; If the answer they give you is not the answer that you are hoping for then never give up...

I feel that it is important to have a policy care in personalised care as it will help people or patients that are under the care of the NHS to have a choice in what they would like to do their health.

Hospitals can make a massive difference because the The Equality Act is so important in an Hospital Environment because every patient is unique in their own way and because of the Equality Act 2010 it is so important that every patient get treated properly no matter what age, gender, sexuality etc.

I would like booking GP appointments to be made allot easier to manage. I feel that patients who has a GP should have access to their GP's email address if they have one as it will be allot easier for NHS patients to speak to their GP if they really need support. I have to email my doctors in London rather than my GP as it is so difficult accessing advice and...

What struck me is that living with a long term illness or disability does not mean that you have to stop what you like doing; You may have to adapt in different ways to make it more easier for the person but it doesn't meant that they cant live a normal life like other people.
I feel that you should live life to the fullest and make every single day... -
