About this listen

What is a ‘normal’ relationship with alcohol – and how do you know if yours needs addressing?


In the latest episode of the Nursing Standard podcast, Southmead Hospital’s lead nurse for addictions Sally Quigley discusses nurses’ relationship with alcohol – and the factors behind evidence that suggests alcohol misuse might be higher among nurses than in the general population.


She also discusses the need for compassion towards yourself and patients, and what that means for nursing practice.
