Region changed their format. They meet at a different agency for their meetings. Not doing audits. Meet next in February. Region 8 met in December and distributed handouts from our last council meeting.
Foot care continues to be well-received.
Some concern as one county has nurses' aides doing the foot clinics with the RN supervising annually. This is questionable as far as nursing scope of practice. Group consensus that this is a nursing responsibility. Julie commented that aides might be appropriate to assist in the soaks and other preparations with nurse supervision. The flu vaccine shortage issues were brought up and concerns with not everyone following the specified guidelines.
