After some time, frustrations and work we finally have our own Nightingales website. It’s still early days with very little information on the conditions and no forum, but it’s a start!
The hope is to have a forum where members can talk, and get support, help and advice. Share what you have been up to, and share tips and products that have helped you. Plus more. There will also be an area for those Carers, Families and Friends to chat.
Below is a look at what is being planned for the forum. Click the > of each category to see the areas within which members can post.
Feel free to comment and let me know if you wish to see anything in particular on the website or forum.
