ABSTRACT
COVID-19 has meant that, globally, people, organisations and governments have had to make huge changes in life and work. The aim of this study is to explore the impact of working during the first wave of COVID-19 on Admiral Nurse practice (specialists in dementia care who support families affected by dementia). Semi-structured interviews were used to gather data from 19 Admiral Nurses. Themes drawn from the data show that Admiral Nurses experienced an immediate sense of impotence and helplessness, and, from there, moved through a process of adaptation to reach a new level of competence. This research provides insight into the experiences of Admiral Nurses and their adaptability in extraordinary circumstances.
