Rare health conditions 47: the ‘strengths model’ of care, Gorham's disease and amniotic band syndrome

Abstract

The purpose of this series is to highlight a range of rare health conditions. Rare health conditions are those that affect no more and usually fewer than 1 person in every 2000 and many HCAs and nurses will encounter some of these conditions, given the high number of them. This 47th article will explore two of these conditions, Gorham's disease and amniotic band syndrome, and offer a focus on the ‘strengths-based model’ of healthcare assessment and planning.
