23 March 2021 marks a year since the UK went into its first national lockdown to control the spread of Covid-19. Since then all of our lives have changed dramatically.

We know the past year has been one of the toughest that nursing and midwifery professionals have ever faced. They've had to rapidly adapt to new ways of working and rise to unprecedented demands in uncertain times.

And it's the same for students, who've endured a year of disruption and had to adapt to new ways of learning.

Stories from the pandemic

We asked some of these amazing professionals to reflect on the extraordinary challenges they've faced this past year. Read their stories:

Thank you

The whole of the UK has been reminded how important nursing and midwifery professionals are. Their expertise and kindness make such a difference to people's health and wellbeing.

We'd like to say ' thank you' to all current and future nurses, midwives and nursing associates - including those on our Covid-19 temporary register - for everything they've achieved over the past year.

For the last couple of years, the NHS have been drilling the Mindfulness/Headspace app into their workers. As much as it is a positive step in the right direction, I have always felt very uneasy of the intensity that Mindfulness is the be all and end all of staff well-being. Mindfulness doesn't work for everyone - myself included. I think it would be good to have a slide looking at the critical view on this perhaps, or these sorts of trust initiatives that may not be any good? I will attach the article from MIND (charity) website for futher info: https://www.mind.org.uk/information-support/drugs-and-treatments/mindfulness/is-mindfulness-right-for-me/#:~:text=Although%20anyone%20can%20try%20it,I%20want%20to%20learn%20mindfulness%3F

"The Importance of Well-Being in the Health Care Workforce"

# data[].attributes.body
Within healthcare, today, Nurses and other allied health professionals have been forced to take the action of focusing more on administrative duties which, in turn, sadly puts patient care on the back burner. It is going against the morals of many who go into healthcare with the patient at the heart of everything they do (Shanafelt and Noseworthy, 2016). A few references I came across that we could pluck some information from

Article about implementing health promotion programmes in the workplace to improve work related burdens

# data[].attributes.body
Abstract: "Nursing staff in all settings have multiple work-related problems due to patient handling and occupational stressors, which result in high stress levels and low back pain. In this context the importance of health promotion becomes apparent. The aim of this study is to analyse whether nursing staff (in elderly care, hospitals, home care, or trainees) show different levels of work-related burdens and whether they require individualized components in health promotion programs. N = 242 German nurses were included in a quantitative survey (Health survey, Screening Scale (SSCS) of Trier Inventory for Chronic Stress, Slesina). The differences were tested using Chi²-Tests, Kruskal–Wallis Test and one-way ANOVA. Nurses differed in stress loads and were chronically stressed (F₍₃₂₃₆₎ = 5.775, p = 0.001). Nurses in home care showed the highest SSCS-values with time pressure as the most important straining factor. The physical strains also placed a particular burden on nurses in home care, whereas they still reported higher physical well-being in contrast to nurses in elderly care (Chi² = 24.734, p < 0.001). Nurses in elderly care and home care preferred strength training whereas nurses in hospitals and trainees favoured endurance training. Targeted programs are desirable for the reduction of work-related burdens. While nurses in elderly care and home care need a combination of ergonomic and strength training, all nurses require additional stress management. Planning should take into account barriers like perceived additional time consumption. Therefore, health promotion programs for all settings should be implemented during working time at the work setting and should consider the working schedule"

This was a seminar presented by Dr Chiara Dall'ora at the Nursing Standard Virtual Careers Fair on 19/10/21.  Once it is available as a link/pdf to share, I will post it here.

The description: "In this presentation, you will learn about the key role a healthy work environment plays in determining your wellbeing and outcomes for the patients you care for. Nonetheless, current working environments are not always conducive to best outcomes for you and your patients, so what can you do as a student or NQN to maintain your wellbeing? You will learn about the power of vulnerability, compassionate teams and being a change agent."

reading, critical analysis and professionalism. It is suggested that you use the reflective cycle we have introduced you to in order to structure the talk.

You will present your TED talks on the afternoon of the 13th of December to
4-5 other groups and give peer feedback as well as receiving facilitated
feedback yourself."
