For all the people who need to know this...

Long sleeved gowns better than aprons. This WHO recommendation is really important in my opinion. Particularly for community nursing teams working in high risk situations.

The rain came today!! Yet DNs continue to push on. Standing in the cold applying PPE & wearing a smile. You are all my hero’s. DNs should come with the label “in all weathers”. Quietly doing what needs to be done! #DistrictNurse #communityNurse #NHS #DNChampion 🌈💙

Correct use of PPE is so important in our fight against Coronavirus, make sure you know how to use it correctly. Here is a short poem to help everyone remember the top tips. PPE: Please Protect Everyone. #COVID19

Its the right thing to do

International Nurse's Day Stay strong Stay hopeful.

When leadership is humble, curious, & compassionate, it doesn't need to shout or seek the limelight. It works alongside, listens to understand, knows when to get out of the way, & values difference. When leadership is not 'on show', it might just mean it's working rather well.

A small team, committed to a cause bigger than themselves, can achieve absolutely anything.

Check out our RespectED anti-bullying campaign video below. We're raising awareness of bullying, harassment and incivility in Emergency Departments and aim to empower all to speak up when they are targeted or witness this appalling behaviour. Watch here: youtu.be/bZbpMm1GAPk

So important. As winter and system pressures rise, we may find ourselves or those around us feeling stressed, anxious or overwhelmed. Despite this, we need to be kind, call out poor behaviour and work cohesively as #oneteam to provide safe and effective care. #civilitysaveslives

It takes less than 15 seconds to recognise someone’s work effort, just a small thanks, or I thought you did great, or the way you cared for that patient was amazing. In the super busy world we’re in, a little recognition can mean everything to people. #JoyInWork
