Description

A female nurse prepares drugs for administration to patients on a UK hospital ward. This is commonly called a 'drugs round'. Only senior nursing staff are able to perform this role. This nurse is a senior sister and she wears a navy blue uniform with a white trim. The drugs are kept in a lock cabinet which has wheels to enable the movement of it between patient bays or bed spaces.
