A clinical role in care homes or losing my clinical skills?
I’m always fascinated when I hear nurses from out-with the care home sector say that care home nurses don’t do as many ‘clinical things’ on a day-to-day basis as their ward-based colleagues. So, what are these mysterious, highly complex skills/tasks that are only carried out in a ward, ones that care home nurses don’t do every day? Let’s start with the fundamental physical health ‘tasks’ – blood…

Regulations and standards
Reflections A few weeks ago I was sitting by the (hotel) window listening to the wind swirling outside and watching the rather brave (foolish?) golfers making slow progress down the various fairways I could see – some directly into the wind and some experiencing strong cross winds. I decided it was time for a coffee and a meander through Twitter when I came across two particular tweets which made…

You Had One Job…
‘If you were Chief Nursing Officer for the day – what would you do?’
It’s a question I sometimes ask groups of nurses & midwives when I manage to engage them in conversation. The answers vary greatly – and tend to be person specific. I’m also keen to know what the one thing is that either stops nurses and midwives from doing a great job, or what one thing would make it easier…

Thing 1: Blogging Why post this blog now? I wrote this blog in December 2016 but never posted it. This week the Scottish Social Services Council launched their 23 digital ‘things’ (innovations) to support and engage the 21st Century social care workforce (#SSSC23digital). ‘Thing 1’ is about blogging this prompted me to post the blog, role modelling is important if I expect others to join in.…

Coach Leader
If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader. —John Quincy Adams The coach must believe in the possibilities for the coachee, even in the absence of belief of others or indeed at times the coachee themselves. The coach’s job is to support development in the coachee around ‘that which is not yet know’, this is the actual growth arena. In…

Letting a TV crew into your organisation is a scary prospect for any communicator. Even more so if you work in the NHS - an ever present in the media spotlight. by Hannah Clubb

Some reflective thoughts - simple but to the point; but there again frequently we find simple is best.

My thoughts on being Director of Care at Erskine.
Attitudes and values I once read a blog which stated when people ‘fail’ to fit into a job it’s usually not due to lack of skill, it’s more about attitude – this strongly suggests that when interviewing we should be interviewing for attitude and values – and of course there is other evidence to support this. The implicit thought is we can train for skills and knowledge once the person is in the…

Can You See the Forest? by @fionacmcqueen
‘My family will always be grateful…’
These are the first words I saw when looking at Patient Opinion and reflecting on how people are experiencing our services. They are words that are often reflected in how people think of the care they receive from nurses and midwives across the country, and as we move forwards into a new year, words that should ring in our ears and encourage us to be even…

10 Things I learnt in 2016 by @jasonleitch
It’s harder than I thought
1. Cycling is better than running, however, turns out the kit can be ridiculously expensive (but it’s worth it for the reversible green and black cycling jacket and the fancy reflective tabs on my cycling trousers….)
2. It’s harder than I thought to keep up the momentum for continuous improvement. This is one of the problems that troubles me most.
Within the safety…

The development of our national nursing strategy
‘for their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow, which you cannot visit, even in your dreams’…
Although Gibran’s words were about parents and children, these words have resonance within me about the future of our profession.
We’ve come such a long way in recent decades, and made such a difference to people’s lives as a consequence of that. If…

Over 80 of our nurses came together to share knowledge, skills and expertise.
