The RCN has showcased two examples of innovation. Carol Davis finds out more about these promising new models from the nurses behind them

The RCN’s Frontline First campaign is highlighting examples of nursing innovations that have improved care while saving money after its research found that thousands of posts are at risk as NHS organisations cut costs.

In this article, Carol Davis talks to winner of the Frontline First award Marina Lupari about her work in developing a nurse-led scheme that has significantly reduced the amount of time older people with chronic conditions spend in hospital. The work of runner-up Carol Gill, who developed a pressure ulcer early warning system, is also profiled.
