Watch and share.

"Nurses just follow orders" is one of many myths.

In reality, nurses assess, monitor, advocate and educate, spending more time with patients than anyone else in healthcare.

How many assumptions did you get right? Tag a nurse and see if they agree! 👇

Asking questions isn’t challenging your healthcare provider.

It’s taking an active role in your care.

Starting a new medication? Don’t just collect the prescription and leave.

Ask:
1. Why am I taking it?
2. How and when should I take it?
3. How long will I need it?
4. How will I know it’s working?
5. Could it affect other medications?

[Patient-Provider Forum Nigeria @ppforumng]

Healthcare is a team sport.

Doctors matter. But so do nurses, pharmacists, lab scientists, physiotherapists, dietitians, allied health professionals and patients.

That’s why Patient-Doctor Forum Nigeria is now Patient-Provider Forum Nigeria.

Better conversations. Better care
