Shine's team publish new article in Nursing Times on NPH recognition, diagnosis and care

We're delighted to share that Jenny Smith-Wymant and Nicole Dubé-Fuller from the Health Team have published a new article in the Nursing Times on "Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus (NPH): recognition, diagnosis and care".

NPH is a neurological condition that can affect walking, cognition, and bladder function. Because its symptoms can resemble those of other conditions, including Alzheimer’s and Parkinson's disease, it is often under-recognised and underdiagnosed. Yet, with timely identification and appropriate treatment, outcomes can be significantly improved. 

Raising awareness among healthcare professionals is essential to reducing delays in diagnosis and ensuring people receive the right support at the right time. We're proud to have written this article, helping to share practical information with nurses on recognising NPH, understanding the diagnostic pathway, and delivering effective Patient Care. 

A huge thank you to everyone involved in developing the Nursing Times resource and advancing awareness of a condition that can have a profound impact on people's lives.
