Debate and Role play

The debate was organised to make the students understand the different roles of Health Care Professionals.
Students were divided into teams of four members and one team spoke for and the other team against the topic. The teams supporting the topic explained the role of a Nurse in Health Care, they said nurses are always superior in comforting, caring, advocating for the client rights and assisting. They said, nurses understand the health condition of patients thoroughly and then give the required information to the Physicians whenever required. On the other hand, the team which spoke against the topic justified their part by stating that the Doctors play an important role in the health care setting by giving a better patient care.?

The debate came to a conclusion that both doctors and nurses play equal role in providing quality care to the patients. Few students from the audience gave their opinion on the topic by elaborating the different roles that a Nurse is playing in her nursing profession.
Finally the moderator said, in any Hospital, the Nurses are like the limbs while the Doctors are the eyes and brains, neither can work without the other’s presence. ?
