Even in 1924, the nursing regulator came under fire for perceived failings Our current regulator, The Nursing and Midwifery Council, may think it has challenges with perceptions of its role and culture, and its ever-present backlog of fitness-to-practise cases. #nurse #nurses #nursing #health #healthcare #regulator #nmc #ftp #fitnesstopractise #historyofnursing #1924 https://lnkd.in/dNhMAJP2

What should happen to a nurse who did not escalate concerns about two vulnerable patients? Each month, Nursing Times will consider a real-life case heard by The Nursing and Midwifery Council’s fitness to practise panel. We’ll give you the facts of the case, as presented to the panel, and you’ll get a chance to consider what decision you would have made. Nurse A, who was working as a director and care manager, was referred to the Nursing and Midwifery Council after concerns reported to them by colleagues were not escalated. #nurse #nurses #nursing #health #healthcare #regulation #nmc #fitnesstopractise #raisingconcerns #speakout #speakup #carehome https://lnkd.in/e5qyTGux

I’ve often spoken about the pressing issue of nursing shortages worldwide, and these World Health Organization figures reiterate this, estimating a shortage of 4.5 million nurses by 2030. WHO’s Global Strategic Directions for Nursing and Midwifery provides a roadmap emphasizing four key policy areas to remedy this challenge: education, jobs, leadership, and service delivery. At CGFNS International, Inc., we, too, are committed to supporting this vital workforce advocating for improved careers and lives for these professionals by promoting enhanced career mobilization, innovative healthcare systems, and enhanced professional development programs. Achieving these steps is crucial to establishing an industry fit for our world. https://lnkd.in/ewFCMnNR #WHO #Nursing #Workforce #Healthcare

The Phillips Ives Review into the digital readiness of nurses and midwives was due to be published in 2023. The review has explored what skills and training the workforce might require when working with new technologies in the coming years. Despite the rapid advancement of digital technologies in healthcare, and the growing demand on nurses to become more digitally competent, the review has still not materialised. Luckily, I have seen a leaked copy of the report and set out the key findings in detail for Nursing Times.

Recent reforms in aged care have led to employers reducing the number of enrolled nurses, creating a skills gap. This has brought to the fore concerns around delegation of work by registered nurses to unregulated health workers. “Delegation care is a complex decision-making process that required the nurse to use leadership and change management skills to demonstrate assertiveness within the teams they work, advocate for patients and ensure nursing activities are effectively executed”, Dr. Carol Crevacore explains. Dr. Crevacore led research into the factors that impact the decision making in delegation by RNs to AINs in the acute care setting.
