  "abstract": "BackgroundAlthough point-of-care testing is the standard method for inpatient glucose monitoring; it is associated with patient discomfort and late detection of dysglycaemic events. Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) may improve glycaemic management; however, limited staff education and experience among may hinder its implementation.\n\nAimTo investigate experience, perceptions and training needs on CGM use among inpatient nursing staff across diverse hospital wards.\n\nMethodsThis is a single-centre, 38-item online survey recruited inpatient nurses in a hospital in the UK. Participants were invited via the e-newsletter and posters; the survey remained open for five months.\n\nResultsNineteen nurses reported positive perceptions of inpatient CGM. Most considered CGM reliable (77.8%) and preferred CGM combined with POCT (66.7%). Views on its impact on workload and patient-room entries were mixed (30% agreed, 30% disagreed). Training needs included sensor placement (92.9%) and alarm management (78.6%).\n\nConclusionNurses viewed CGM favourably but highlighted important training needs for inpatient use.\n\nKey points1. Inpatient nurses generally viewed CGM positively and considered it as a reliable tool. 2. Most nurses preferred using CGM alongside POCT, while views on its impact on patient-room entries were mixed. 3. Most nurses identified further training needs, particularly for sensor placement and CGM alarm management. 4. The small, single-site voluntary sample limits generalisability; findings should be confirmed in larger, multicentre studies.",
