Working with the quality nurse

In depthReading time: 2 minutesUpdated: October 2026
In short

Your quality nurse monitors the quality of care in the organisation. I am happy to think along about how I can support that work, from the floor and with topics such as wound care, reporting, hygienic working and fall prevention.

Many care organisations have a quality nurse or quality officer who monitors policy and sets improvements in motion. That role is valuable, but the distance to the floor can be large. That is where I can build a bridge. I work in the care myself and therefore quickly see where agreements do and do not land.

What I do and do not do

Your organisation remains the owner of the quality policy. I do not take over that role. I am, however, happy to think along about how I can support it, for example by tackling a topic on the floor together with the quality nurse. My expertise lies in:

  • Wound care and wound reporting
  • Reporting according to SOAP
  • Hygienic working
  • Fall prevention

Wound care and reporting as a starting point

The wound care quality tool and reporting according to SOAP contribute to the quality care of your organisation. They make visible how care is going and give the quality nurse something to hold on to when talking with the team.

From conversation to working agreement

What we see together, I translate with the team into a few concrete agreements. We record them in a way the team recognises, for example in a short work instruction. That makes it a step in practical quality improvement that stays in place after my assignment.

I help with this through quality improvement and wound care and reporting. Want to know what that means for your organisation? Schedule an introduction.

Tip from Janneke

At the start of an assignment, plan a short conversation with the quality nurse. Then everyone knows what the goal is and who keeps an eye on what.

Frequently asked questions

Do I take over the role of the quality nurse?

No. I provide support from the floor and from my own expertise. The quality policy stays with your organisation.

What does such a collaboration look like?

We agree that per assignment. Often we choose one topic together, such as wound care or reporting, and agree in advance what should be different afterwards.

What if we do not have a quality nurse?

Then I coordinate with the team leader or care manager. In that case too, I am happy to think along about how I can best support your organisation.

Prefer to talk in person?

I am happy to drop by for a coffee to discuss your question.
