Thanks for your blog @justacarehomeg1.bsky.social - it's a brilliant first-hand description of the range of responsibilities of care home nurses. It's important we draw out, as nurses, the common threads across nursing, valuing all branches and places where people nurse equally

Calling nursing and midwifery leaders! Interested in exploring how to create person-centred cultures? Places where people want to work? Check out the comments from one of the previous participants below 👇 Details & application info are available on our website www.fons.org/programmes-d...
"My focus on creating a compassionate, person-centred culture has contributed positively to staff recruitment by making our service a more attractive and supportive place to work. By fostering psychological safety, promoting inclusive leadership and ensuring staff feel valued and listened to, I have helped build a reputation for kindness, stability and professional growth. 
The visibility of strong leadership, opportunities for reflective learning and a nurturing environment also support better staff retention, which further enhances recruitment by signalling that people choose to stay. As a result, we are increasingly recognised as a service where staff thrive, feel proud of their work and are supported to deliver high‑quality, person-centred care."

I wrote this brief talk on why “augmenting diversity” with LLMs is empirically unsubstantiable, conceptually flawed, and epistemically harmful and a nice surprise to see the organisers have made it public synthetic-data-workshop.github.io/papers/13.pdf
title: Cheap science, real harm: the cost of replacing human
participation with synthetic data

author: Abeba Birhane

abstract: Driven by the goals of augmenting diversity, increasing speed, reducing cost, the
use of synthetic data as a replacement for human participants is gaining traction
in AI research and product development. This talk critically examines the claim
that synthetic data can “augment diversity,” arguing that this notion is empirically
unsubstantiated, conceptually flawed, and epistemically harmful. While speed and
cost-efficiency may be achievable, they often come at the expense of rigour, insight,
and robust science. Drawing on research from dataset audits, model evaluations,
Black feminist scholarship, and complexity science, I argue that replacing human
participants with synthetic data risks producing both real-world and epistemic
harms at worst and superficial knowledge and cheap science at best
