Toenails are not in our remit? Now, I have officially heard it all. If medical regulation were a patient, it would've been sectioned by now.https://twitter.com/drhethweth/status/955715225029931008 …

Im not aware of any specific “rules” on finger nails. I don’t think it’s something a DN would go out to do, maybe if they were there for other reasons. It’s one of those areas what’s individual responsibility v state responsibility

I think this is where common sense can be lost among a plethora of rules - written or unwritten. Clipping nails is something we all get a basic grasp of in life. An old lady needs her finger nails clipping. How hard can it be?

In isolation not at all. But one has to “prove” they have sufficient wider knowledge of patient & skill of task to balance risk-benefit and crucially benefit must always “win” or else... the state as we all know makes a lousy parent/family member

Yeah.. the more I read those tweets tho, the more I can't help but feel they demonstrate what I'm saying. I know it's not the same, but I managed to do it for my own mother. It's hardly the riskiest thing the NHS does with patients.
