Every. Single. Word. Of. This. From Prof. @alisonleary1.bsky.social. Worth a read for all those wondering why retention of NHS staff and therefore their proficiency is so important in the pursuit of productivity and safety.

Sometimes, you have to take a step back and look at the journey you've been on.

Doing some work around staff support- horizontal violence should not be happening but sadly it does . If we are to be recognised as a highly skilled patient safety centric profession we are ,we should be supporting one another & leaders need to ensure staff support is at the very heart of nursing

Researchers found that to address the epidemic of mental ill health among HCPs, workers needed: Targeted MH interventions Hot food Rest areas/lockers Free parking Essentially staff just need to be valued & treated like human beings. Rocket science it is not. evidence.nihr.ac.uk/alert/system...

Forgetting is a curse & a necessity. We want to move on but must at the same time remember the events of the pandemic accurately, to learn the right lessons & better prepare for whatever the future holds. My thanks to the @covidinquiryuk team for this work. youtu.be/4wSYxatO2cU?...

editorial from @bmj.com and paper: Poor staff retention is associated with higher patient mortality. Have said it before & I’ll say it again. If you don’t care for the carers, they cannot care for their patients. www.bmj.com/content/387/...

As leaders, we cannot be silos. Our role is to enable the collaboration/connections that mean our teams can play to their specialist strengths but operate as part of a bigger collective whole. @jillgeisler.bsky.social suggests 8 actions for leaders: hfma.org/leadership/l....

"Lower turnover rates for nurses and senior doctors at hospital level were associated with better health outcomes for patients with emergency hospital admissions." The question for me is why we have to keep spelling this out. www.bmj.com/content/387/...

Not enough people are talking about how the previous govt ditched wellbeing hubs set up for staff during covid, in the name of cutbacks Unsurprisingly MH related absences are sky high, perpetuating the cycle. NHS staff are for life, not just for pandemics www.blackpoolgazette.co.uk/news/blackpo...

blackpoolgazette.co.uk

Blackpool NHS Trust sees over 4,000 staff mental health absences since 2021

A new study says more than 4,000 NHS staff at Blackpool have had to take absence to mental health problems over the past three years.

Absolutely this 👇. One of the best explanations about this describes how 'nice culture' can be as harmful as 'nasty culture'- and much harder to call out because it casts the dissenting person as 'not nice'. But 'nice culture' stifles cognitive diversity. www.kingsfund.org.uk/insight-and-...

Let's be clear, Wellbeing in healthcare is not fluffy stuff. It's about workload, staffing, systems & culture. It's about valuing our own needs, modelling humanity & vulnerability, Creating spaces where people feel able to be authentic & ask for help. Wellbeing must be a priority. #MedSky

So far I am really liking blue sky - no anger, no division and no hatred - just like minded people who want to share their passions, share best practice and learn from one another - reminds of how Twitter used to be before toxicity set in - long may it continue
