A good example of the positive impact of research activity. Well presented Cathy Hill Noni ChelwestR&D Prof Jane Ball (FRCN)💙

Great seeing my colleague Dr Jaimie Ellis presenting findings from the qualitative research undertaken to make sense of conditions that impacted on the Magnet4Europe journey of different hospitals.

#NurseSuicide #SuicideResearch

Our colleagues at the #NHS Postvention study (Nurse Suicide Study 💙) have helpfully bought together all of their findings and publications in one thread. If you are interested in the impact of #ColleagueSuicide in the #NHS and provision of safe support, this is for you. ⬇️

The problems:

1. Blame culture
2. System needs over-ride staff well-being
3. Unintended personal costs of upholding values at work
4. Interventions don’t recognise cumulative chronic stressors
5. It is hard to design, identify & implement interventions. qualitysafety.bmj.com/content/early/…

NEW!
Looking forward to reading this.

Up to three-quarters of NHS staff struggling with mental health nursingtimes.net/news/workforce…

I am so looking forward to this new role ⁦The RCN⁩

It’s an honour to have the opportunity to serve the profession I love, the best way I know how: harnessing evidence and critical thinking to inform practice & policy. rcn.org.uk/news-and-event…

Gerry Bolger RN 💙 [email protected] But I think we have gone past needing to know how bad risks are. We have enough evidence to know that too often services are not staffed safely. This has to change.

Only legally enforceable RN staffing minimums will protect patients and the public from dangerously low staffing.

David Oliver Prof Alison Leary 💙#ProtectNurse We need legislated minimum registered nurse staffing levels, that can be enforced by a regulator.
Nothing less will work - as we’ve seen and keep seeing. #safestaffing #RNRatios

Prof Alison Leary 💙#ProtectNurse #hellomynameisjanet RN PNA QN 💙 Quick poll. Has your Trust frozen vacancies?

We MUST have minimum RN:patient staffing levels set in legislation.
Patients deserve nursing care led & delivered by registered nurses.

Without enforceable minimums, zero RN staffing is an option - regardless of the HUGE risks to pt safety, and reduction in care decision making

Why is the NHS in this situation? I'm told it's a combination of flat increases in spending coupled with consequences linked to collapsing social care & community services meaning patients are sicker and staing longer in hospitals. What's happening in your area? END 7/7

It’s not a spending crisis.
It’s a funding crisis.

A recruitment pause and pause on new investment at OUH to tackle a £53m deficit. Not by any means a unique position...
