Award nurse treats alcohol problems in Orkney Islands

An alcohol specialist nurse has won the Mental Health category of the Nursing Standard Nurse 2000 Awards for treating people with alcohol problems at home. Jane Burgon works on the Alcohol Home Detoxification Service in the Orkney Islands. She travels from island to island, providing a tailor-made treatment that is monitored and controlled by the patients, to allow them to withdraw rapidly from their alcohol dependency. Prior to her service, patients had only their general practitioner to turn to. Without ongoing support both patients and their general practitioners were isolated. She now treats 35 people at any one time, visiting those with the most severe symptoms twice a day.
