LTLC Critical Care Redeployment e-Learning

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
About the London Transformation and Learning Collaborative - Critical Care programme

The London Transformation and Learning Collaborative - Critical Care (LTLC) programme is aimed at supporting the cross-skilling of the London NHS workforce to manage:

existing critical care demand;

potential future spikes in critical care demand as a result of Covid-19; and

longer-term permanent expansion of critical care capacity.

This programme supports London's recovery plan by ensuring that:

system-level training infrastructure sustains readiness for future surge and increased critical care capacity;

well-being is integrated for all staff; and

opportunities to enable workforce and training innovations are maximised and continually adapted.

Follow updates on Twitter using the hashtag #NHSLTLC or HEE London @NHSHEE_LDN.

Our approach

The LTLC aims to increase the supply and resilience of London's critical care workforce through:

the development of a modular education programme that can be tailored to distinct learner needs;

multi-channel delivery of education to accommodate different skill training requirements and enable wide-spread accessibility;

sharing of practice from critical care units across London (e.g. proformas, job descriptions and reports of positive interventions), that other units may want to consider adopting or adapting;

mapping of optimal critical care workforce models in eight key surge sites, that will inform their learner needs; and

incorporation of a feedback mechanism, to refine and evolve the programme's educational content over time.

The programme is user-led, with both the systems and future learners actively involved in every stage, from development to delivery. We are working with five integrated care systems (ICS) in London to ensure we are responsive to different needs across the capital.

The below chart illustrates the different stages of the programme.

Desired outcomes

We will be collating educational materials and training activities for learners and educators that can be tailored to learners' existing skill level and current or future critical care role. These will include materials for e-learning, face to face teaching, simulation, and work-based placements as well as personal development. We aim to deliver:
For learners:

Easy identification of required and desired skills aligned to your current role or expected critical care role.

Materials for self-directed learning, resources, and work-based placements to improved confidence and competence working in critical care (including for COVID-19 specifically).

For trainers:

Easy identification of required and desired skills aligned to your learners' current role or expected critical care role.

Efficient collation, design and delivery of educational content and train-the-trainer materials to cross-skill critical care workforce (including for COVID-19 specifically), particularly in the on-line era.

For systems: Primary

To build the London NHS workforce capability to operate at a new increased critical care capacity.
Secondary

Demonstration of a new agile model for developing and delivering education rapidly in response to changing national healthcare requirements, in collaboration with existing regional systems.

Step One: Interprofessional skills matrix

To support you identify the most useful educational content for yourself or your learners, we have developed a skills matrix that map the content to the skills they address, by professional group or role within critical care.

The content is being mapped against NMC, GMC, HCPC, NCFRN CC3N and CoBaTrICE professional competencies, so that learners may present their learning and professional development easily for revalidation & appraisal.

Select here for the

The skills matrix is a developing document. Please use the link below to provide us with some feedback on the skills matrix. This resource is under constant review so your input is highly valued. The survey is designed for both learners and educators and should take no longer than a few minutes to complete. Thank you very much in advance.
https://healtheducationyh.onlinesurveys.ac.uk/skills-matrix-feedback
The skills matrix is under active revision so please check back regularly for the latest version. New additions this week include:

1. Surge doctor resources, focusing on ventilation, assessment & monitoring, sedation, safe patient transfer, and end of life care

2. NIV resources, aimed at managing NIV in the acutely ill patient

3. End of life care

4. Cross-skilling programme for redeployed staff from Homerton University Hospital (mapped to matrix; also grouped in Trainers resources below, under 'Programme Outlines/Timetables')

5. Paediatric critical care nurse cross-skilling priorities highlighted on RSC tab of skills matrix. Follow relevant links below in RSC section, or access directing from the e-LfH learning hub

6. Registered Support Clinician 'Skills Passport' (downloadable PDF in RSC section) to highlight the most important skills to hold before starting work on a critical care unit

7. Non-Registered Support Staff 'Skills Passport' (downloadable PDF in NRSS section) to highlight the most important skills to hold before starting work on a critical care unit

8. Healthcare Scientist surge roles introduction, and Medical Equipment Safety and QA HCS role (see HCS section)

9. Great Operational Practices - RSC / NRSS Task Allocation for 'Pod' Structure, and Paediatric critical care nurses cross-skilling documents

Current updates in progress include:

1. Pharmacy resources

2. Moral injury

3. Expanded AHP resources

The searchable Equipment Training Matrix is available under 'ICU Generic Resources' either below, or via the e-LfH hub.

About the skills matrix

The matrix includes recommended skills for the following posts:

ICU Generic Skills: for all staff members deployed to work in ICU. These are the basic requirements.

COVID-19 Generic Skills: for all staff members working within a COVID-19 area.

NRSS (Non-Registered Support Staff): for all staff who are not registered under a professional body.

RSC (Registered Support Clinician): for all staff who are registered under a professional body (e.g. NMC, GMC, HCPC). They may be redeployed to critical care areas during surge or caring for patients on wards who are more unwell than usual (deteriorating/ICU step down). These learning outcomes have all been mapped where possible to the CC3N Step 1 competencies (National Clinical Framework for Registered Nurses (NCFRN) for Adult Critical Care Nurses Critical Care Networks National Nurse leads (CC3N) Step 1 competencies)

PT (Physiotherapist): for physiotherapists with minimal or no previous ICU experience (skills matrix in early stages of development - significant revision required)

OT (Occupational therapist): for occupational therapists with minimal or no previous ICU experience (skills matrix in early stages development - significant revision required)

SLT (Speech and language therapists): for speech and language therapists with minimal or no previous ICU experience (skills matrix in early stages of development - significant revision required)

Dieticians: for dieticians with minimal or no previous ICU experience (skills matrix in early stages of development - significant revision required)

Note: AHP roles may vary depending on local workforce planning. The skill matrix focusses on cross-skilling non-critical care specialist AHPs to be competent in working within ICU, undertaking tasks that will allow experience critical care AHPs and other team members to deliver more complex tasks requiring more extensive training.

HCS (Healthcare Scientists): (skills matrix in early stages of development - significant revision required)

Pharmacy (Pharmacists): (not yet available)

Surge Doctor: 1. doctors who have had minimal (less than 3 months) or no previous ICU experience OR 2. non critical care doctors who have had more than 9 months of critical care experience. They may be redeployed to critical care areas during surge or caring for patients on wards who are more unwell than usual (deteriorating/ICU step down). These learning outcomes have all been mapped to help learners track their self-development to their own training and revalidation needs as appropriate. Curricula mapped to are:
- Competency Based Training in Intensive Care Medicine in Europe competencies (CoBaTRice)
- Faculty of Intensive Care Medicine (FICM) Core and Common competencies (which map against ACCS, CAT & CMT competencies)
- GMC Good Medical Practice (GMP)​

The skills matrix has been created to assist with cross skilling staff in preparation for ICU bed expansion. The skills and learning objectives are taken from national frameworks for individual Professional Bodies. If a skill falls under a particular competency framework, this has been mapped on the matrix. This is not a prescription of the skills to be undertaken by each role, they are recommendations as to what essential and priority skills are deemed to be necessary to allow flexibility within an ICU team but with precedence on safe patient management. It is not designed to limit a professional scope. The intention is to cover the key interventions and therapies available within intensive care; any additional specialised intervention and therapies may be beyond the scope of this matrix. The skills and roles will require adaptation to local workforce and care remodelling. The skills are suggestions as to what we feel should be delivered with the delivery being undertaken by local teams.

Step Two (for Learners): Educational resources

The current educational resources available for learners can be found below. These have been mapped to the skills matrix by professional grouping. We are still in the resource collation and co-creation phase and would appreciate you sharing any relevant resources (please see the below 'How to give your feedback' section).

​ICU Generic Skills and COVID-19 Generic Skills are the basic skills required by all healthcare professionals working in the critical care and/or COVID-19 environments. Additional skills and resources are described in the individual professional grouping sections.​

COVID-19 Generic Skills

For all staff members working within a COVID-19 area.
Safety Communication COVID-19 Generic Resources

RSC (Registered Support Clinician) - staff who are registered under a professional body (e.g. NMC, GMC, HCPC)

An RSC may be:

a junior ICU nurse who has not yet achieved their step 1 competencies in the National Competency Framework,

a registered nurse, who works outside of ICU or

a registered (non-nursing) health care professional.

The RSC may be redeployed to critical care areas during surge or caring for patients on wards who are more unwell than usual (deteriorating/ICU step down). These learning outcomes have all been mapped where possible to the CC3N Step 1 competencies (National Clinical Framework for Registered Nurses (NCFRN) for Adult Critical Care Nurses Critical Care Networks National Nurse leads (CC3N) Step 1 competencies).

To accompany these resources a "skills passport" has been developed to highlight the most important skills for the Registered Support Clinician to hold before starting work on a critical care unit (as identified by senior critical care nurses and educators across London). This skills passport document is a downloadable PDF and contains:

1. An introduction to the passport

2. Passport Assessment tool for RSC Staff

HCS (Healthcare Scientists)

Healthcare scientist (HCS) as a title encompasses a very varied workforce who work in departments from pathology to radiotherapy, through to sleep studies and data analytics. In response to the first COVID surge HCS performed many different roles and had a whole host of responsibilities outside of BAU.

HCS were redeployed as ICU tech support, clinical engineering support, bedside buddies and floating clinical team (at NHS London Nightingale Hospital).

HCS Surge Roles offers a brief introduction to how HCS could add value in a surge situation

Medical Equipment safety and QA HCS role provide some details regarding this final role.

Step Two (for Critical Care Units or Systems): Great operational practices

The LTLC programme includes networking across the whole of London and learning from the great practices in each of the Critical Care Units.

Please see below the current resources available which have been shared through this pan-London network as examples of great practices. Though they may be site specific, we hope that by sharing them here, other units can learn and adapt these to their own needs, and share their own great practices in return.

We are still in the resource collation and co-creation phase, therefore we would appreciate you sharing any relevant resources (please see below the 'How to give your feedback' section). We also are a continuously learning ourselves so all feedback, ideas and comments gratefully received - both constructive and positive!

A Toolkit for rapid cross-skilling, support safe redeployment

As we are met with immense pressures and the need to redeploy staff safely across healthcare settings, the LTLC have created a toolkit, compiling guidance and resources to support interprofessional cross-skilling during rapid redeployment of the workforce.

The attached toolkit provides guidance on the resources available on the LTLC website which should be used in conjunction with updated national guidance for workforce management published on 10 December 2020, Advice on Acute Sector Workforce Models During Covid-19. The toolkit is packed with hyperlinks and QR codes to take users direct to the core content.

Download, share via social media or print and post in your department / coffee room / changing room this interactive PDF on "How to access the LTLC Resources for Redeployment."

Paediatric critical care nurses cross-skilling documents

Skills Matrix addition
A column has been added to the RSC tab of the Skills Matrix called "Redeploying paediatric staff areas to update". This highlights the learning outcomes that staff who redeployed from paediatrics to adult critical care in surge 1 felt they needed to revise to feel confident in the adult environment. Each of these is mapped to resources that are readily available through the LTLC e-LfH hub.

In addition, as for all staff redeploying, there are key skills covered in both the 'ICU Generic Skills' tab and the 'Covid-19 Generic Skills' tab such as 'proning' and 'manual handling' videos and patient safety resources.

Additional resources have been provided by colleagues from across London:

1. Report on supported redeployment of PICU staff to general paediatric ward (GOSH to the Whittington Hospital)

2. 17-page guidance document for PICU staff being redeployed to ACC in surge 1 (North Thames Paediatric Network)

3. Evaluation paper Burnett et al. (2020) sharing the experiences of 25 redeployed PICU staff during surge 1

Step Two: Field Hospital Resources

NHS Nightingale London Educators Resources

The core aim of the NHS Nightingale London Education and Training curriculum was to develop staff who were confident and able to practice safely in their allocated roles within the NHS Nightingale Field Hospital at The ExCel Centre. Between March and May 2020 over 2,700 learners were trained face-to-face and a further 1,000 participated in on-line training.

Learning was all delivered interprofessionally and was were organised into four broad programmes as outlined below and has well-being threaded through. All of these programmes also had corporate and local clinical induction sessions. It is important not to forget the importance of Local Clinical Induction for staff new to a Critical Care Unit.

(further information available in the ' Overview Documents ' section)

Safety Critical Training

Safety Critical Clinical Skills

Consolidation of Learning

Day Zero
The underlying principles of Day Zero are to alleviate anxiety and to deliver learning needs not met within induction. The aims when used at NHS Nightingale London were:

To orientate staff to the hospital site, ward space, equipment and hospital layout

To focus on patient safety and prepare people to step onto a critical care unit on a "day one"

To identify outstanding learning objectives for new starters at NHS Nightingale London and meet them or signpost to where they can be met

To alleviate anxieties prior ahead of clinical work the Nightingale London

To reinforce messages around culture and well-being

Posters
These posters were developed to support the training of staff for NHS Nightingale London and to be used in the clinical areas to remind staff of key information about communication tools including SBAR, CUSS, Closed-loop communication and Hand signals for non-verbal communication.
Simulation Scenarios
These scenarios were written to support the face-to-face training within the London Nightingale Education team.

They are designed for a range of participants from those with no healthcare experience (red) through to pre-existing ICU staff (green) tackling more complex issues.

NHS Nightingale Yorkshire & Humber Educators resources

The core aim of the NHS Nightingale Yorkshire & Humber Education and Training curriculum was to develop staff who were confident and able to practice safely in their allocated roles within the NHS Nightingale Field Hospital at The Harrogate Convention Centre.

Learning was all delivered interprofessionally and organised into three broad programmes as outlined below. All of these programmes had corporate and local clinical induction sessions. It is important not to forget the importance of Local Clinical Induction for staff new to a Critical Care Unit.

(further information available in the ' Overview Documents ' section)

​​Yellow education and training for registered healthcare professionals who will be working in a critical care role that is different to their current role and require some additional critical care training to enable them to do the job.

These scenarios were written to support the face-to-face training within the Yorkshire & Humber Nightingale Education team.

Managing the COVID Surge: 10 Quick Wins for ICUs

Frontline clinicians working with the National CLEAR Programme for ICU, as part of the LTLC, are sharing ten recommendations that can be adopted in ICU in 48 hours. While working collaboratively across four London trusts, clinicians identified these "quick wins" in response to the experience and reflections of staff in the first wave of the pandemic.

Managing the COVID surge: 10 Quick Wins for ICUs

The National CLEAR Programme provides training, data analytics and modelling tools for Clinically-Led workforcE and Activity Redesign (CLEAR). CLEAR participants working in ICUs across four London trusts have identified "quick wins" to share with colleagues across the NHS. Whilst these recommendations may seem straightforward and "common sense", our evidence shows that they improve communication, staff wellbeing and patient care.

All of the recommendations can be adopted within 48 hours. The 10 Quick Wins infographic provides a summary checklist for discussion in multi-disciplinary planning forums and staff meetings (Download the printer ready version here). The 10 Quick Wins slidedeck provides further details and practical examples.

Research outputs informing our programme

Learning from the Education Experiences of ICU Staff (Survey)

A Survey into the Workforce utilised to Support Critical Care Units during COVID-19

Two short surveys were developed in collaboration between the Intensive Care Society (ICS) and the Operational Delivery Network (ODN) representatives, and disseminated via Survey Monkey over the month of May 2020. One was specifically for critical care managers/nurse leads to complete, the other for staff who were redeployed into critical care.

The aims of the surveys were to obtain a snapshot of the additional workforce mobilised to manage critical care surge during the COVID-19 crisis. The aim was that that the data returned can help inform areas of good practice, and identify areas for improvement in future, should the need for staff redeployment to critical care be required again.

The results of the survey can be read here.

In particular, those who were deployed into Critical Care areas, joined rotas, used existing skills, and cross-skilled as abilities and supervision permitted.

The Faculty understands that for medical trainees, nurses and Allied Health Professionals (AHPs) who do not generally work in Critical Care, getting recognition for any new or added ICM skills obtained during the pandemic can be problematic. In conjunction with Health Education England (HEE), we have developed a 'COVID Passport' to help those individuals get the recognition they deserve.

The Passport is comprised of two sections:

Care Packs: Each 'Care Pack' contains examples of skills and work undertaken during deployment to Critical Care that individuals can denote that they have completed. This section is counter-signed by a supervisor in ICM (this may be a consultant, charge nurse, senior AHP or line manager, as appropriate) to certify that the health professional has worked in these general areas to the denoted level of supervision.

Skills Self-Certification: Specific skills developed can be delineated further, in the 'COVID-19 Skills Passport Clarification' section of the document. This will provide future employers and trainers with more detail on individual attainments. Please note that this section is entirely self-certified and is not signed-off by an ICM supervisor."

Further information

NHS England/Improvement and Health Education England have worked in partnership to develop this approach which has already been extensively tested with stakeholders.

The digital world that we live in can be a minefield for families and parents/carers. The way in which children 'game' now is completely different to how modern day parents/carers would have experienced.

The 'monetization' of gaming is at the forefront of research and there are increasing concerns surrounding online gaming and the subsequent links this has with underage gambling.

10 Signs for Parents to Look For

Disordered gambling is sometimes referred to as the 'silent killer'. Unlike drug or alcohol addictions the signs are sometimes harder to spot and if not dealt with at an early age can have a devastating effect on both the gambler and their families later on in life.

If you think that your child may be at risk of developing a gaming addiction then there are a series of measures that you can put in place. This is by no means an exhaustive list but just some strategies that could ensure a potential situation does not escalate.

Do brilliant work supporting families who have been bereaved by gambling related suicides and raise awareness of the dangerous effects of gambling on mental health and the high suicide risk.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Gambling with Lives was set up by the families and friends of young people who had taken their own lives as a direct result of gambling. These were all very normal, bright, popular and happy young folk who had great futures ahead of them ... gambling was their only problem.

​

Their deaths were very sudden - "out of the blue" with no warning. They were not the result of massive gambling debts, rather what gambling had done to their hearts and their heads.

​

No one knows how many deaths are related to gambling each year; but research indicates that there are between 250 and 650 gambling related suicides every year in the UK ... a minimum of one every working day.

​

Gambling with Lives aims to:

​

Support families who have been bereaved by gambling related suicides

Raise awareness amongst gamblers, their families and friends, and health professionals of the dangerous effects of gambling on mental health and the high suicide risk

If your family has been bereaved by gambling related suicide, please contact us at info@gamblingwithlives.org All media queries to 07732 958306

​

Please note that we are a small charity and cannot offer helpline facilities. If you want to speak to someone immediately about a gambling problem have a look at the contacts on our Help page.

LATEST RESEARCH - NEW SUMMARY PAPERS

Our research summaries on the Number of Gambling Related Suicides in the UK; Addictive Products; and the Inadequacy of Prevalence Measures are now available on the website.

Click here to access

Swedish research published in 2018 shows people with gambling disorder have a 15 times higher suicide rate than the general population ...

... meaning up to 550 suicides p.a. in the UK

Families bereaved by gambling related suicides talk about their experiences

Review of the 2005 Gambling Act - Our Demands

​

Gambling should be enshrined in law as a public health issue, and government should legislate for precautionary actions that a public health approach entails. Those actions should include:

Independent evidence based public health messages about the risks associated with gambling, the specific risks associated with individual gambling products, the addictive nature of products and the risk to mental health.

Classifications and licensing conditions for gambling products based on the harm they cause.

Dangerous products to be made safer, including through slowing down speeds of play and the application of stake limits.

Stringent affordability limits and source of wealth checks that are enforced across gambling operators.

An end to all VIP schemes and other inducements to gamble which are deployed by gambling operators to persuade customers to gamble beyond their means and wishes.

The rigorous enforcement of gambling age restrictions.

An end to all gambling advertising, including sponsorship of sports.

A duty of care on the part of gambling operators to protect gamblers from harm.

The creation of an independent ombudsman to enforce gambling operators' duty of care.

A statutory levy on gambling operators to pay for independent research, education and treatment which increases substantially the money available for these areas and ensures independence from the gambling industry.

Implementation of a comprehensive NHS prevention and treatment programme.

Training for front line health and other support workers as well as the broader public health workforce to recognise, diagnose, prevent and treat gambling disorder and harms.

A duty on the part of the state to record the number of gambling related suicides.

GAMBLING - SOME KEY FACTS

Click here to access our full Research Brief (May 2018)

​

There are a minimum of 340,000 adult gambling addicts in the UK, with a further 2 million "at risk"

Over 55,000 young people aged 11-16 are addicted to gambling

UK and international research has found that 4-11% of suicides are related to gambling ... equivalent to 250-650 deaths per year in the UK

Research from Sweden found that gambling addicts are 15 times more likely to take their own lives than the general population

Gambling addicts are 3-4 times more likely to attempt to kill themselves than other types of addict

Gambling disorder was classified as equivalent to drug and alcohol addictions in 2013

Some gambling products are extremely dangerous:

Only 33% of people think that gambling is fair and can be trusted; 71% think that it is dangerous to family life

The industry made nearly £14 billion gross profit in 15/16 ... but contributed just £8m to pay for research, education and treatment

Just 2% of addicts were able to access treatment - compared to 15-20% for drugs and alcohol addictions

The GamCare treatment network is not linked to NHS primary care, so that 90% of those who receive treatment are self-referrals

Changing perceptions of dementia

Changing perceptions of dementia

A life well-lived

A gentle breeze. Birdsong. Blossom on trees. It's often the little things in life that bring us happiness. At Effro, we support people living with dementia to lead fulfilling lives based on experiences that awaken their senses, and activities that spark real joy.

We push back against outdated systems and ideas surrounding dementia, support families affected by it, and fight for a world where the word 'dementia' will never define the individuals who live with it.

An individual approach to dementia support

What's your happy place? Our approach at Effro involves helping individuals living with dementia to rediscover theirs, whether it's rolling past familiar sights on a breezy bike ride or tucking into fish and chips on the local seafront.

We recognise that each person we work with is an individual with their own needs and preferences. Our work reflects this, providing tailored support that enables those living with dementia to get what they want from life, no matter their age or abilities.

Find out more

Community services

The sights, sounds, scents, flavours and textures we associate with our fondest memories can spark instant joy. From afternoon tea in a favourite café to the roar of the crowd at a rugby match, Effro engages people in activities they love, proving that a life with dementia can still be a happy one.

From cupcake baking to plant pot making, the activities in our interactive videos provide a useful structure for dementia group sessions.
