NRS 301 by Kelly Hill https://padlet.com/kellyhill82/7syijyxuafcb The importance of nursing leadership en-us 2016-09-13 11:39:34 UTC 2023-03-11 04:14:03 UTC hello@padlet.com khill538 https://padlet.com/kellyhill82/7syijyxuafcb/wish/123406902 Key findings

The leadership of the NHS at a national level needs to create conditions in which local organisations have the freedom to deliver consistently high standards of care and where the needs of patients come first.

The quality of care provided by NHS organisations should, first and foremost, be a corporate responsibility under the leadership of boards, who must lead by example by focusing on the quality and safety of care.

Leaders need to value and support frontline staff and ensure the main focus is on patients and their care.

Leadership development should give priority to supporting leaders at all levels to be patient-centred and to ensure that staff have the time and resources required to deliver high-quality care.

Patient leaders should work alongside NHS leaders to support the transformation called for in the Francis Inquiry report.

1) Managing self - self awareness; knowing strengths/weaknesses/personal & professional values, ego, emotional intelligence. Goodman (2016) asserts 'knowing yourself'.
2) Managing team - theories about working with people? Understanding of 'good' teamwork; assumptions; power dynamics. 
3) Patient centred - (See The King's Fund doc)
4) Networking - who? What is the value? Does it require skill?
5) Political awareness - what policies currently affect your work? How might they affect the future?]]> 2016-09-13 12:37:57 UTC https://padlet.com/kellyhill82/7syijyxuafcb/wish/123408901 khill538 https://padlet.com/kellyhill82/7syijyxuafcb/wish/123417282 How to start a movement..

Suggests that leaders have qualities and characteristics inherent in their personality that make them great leaders. Assume good leaders are born rather than made.

Exclusive ideology - suggests that only a select group of people 'have what it takes' to become leaders.

Convinced of their own superiority, these types of leaders  are susceptible to Fundamental Attribution Error and Self Attribution Bias (Heider 1958), whereby they take the credit for successes but apportion blame to other team members when things fail to go well.

The NHS is currently facing the biggest challenge in its existence.

While on a day-to-day basis most areas of the service are running perfectly well at present, we are already seeing signs of the strain the system is under in areas such as hospital care, A&E and GP services. The reasons for the service reaching this crisis point are many, but here are the main ones:
 
An ageing population

The NHS was set up to treat people with diseases. Many of the diseases that would have killed people 65 years ago, have been cured, which is brilliant. While that means people are living for longer, it also means that they are, probably, living with one or more illnesses (long-term complex conditions) such as diabetes, heart and kidney disease. In turn, that means ongoing treatment and specialist care.
 
Lifestyle factors

The way we live now is also having a negative impact on our health. Drinking too much alcohol, smoking, a poor diet with not enough fruit and vegetables and not doing enough exercise are all major reasons for becoming unwell and needing to rely on our health services. Increasing numbers of overweight children show us that this problem is currently set to continue.
 
The change in public expectations

Originally, tackling disease was the main job of the NHS. Now, we all expect so much more. From advice on healthcare management through to mental health and social care, contraception, antenatal and maternity services, vaccination programmes and the fast, efficient processing of our medication and appointments. All of this with a growing population due to living longer and higher birth rates with lower infant mortality.

Accident and Emergency departments

More and more people are visiting A&E departments and minor injury units – which is stretching the ability of the departments to cope. A lot of the visits are unavoidable, but some are visiting because of inconsistent management of their long-term health conditions, the inability to get a GP appointment or insufficient information on where to go with a particular complaint. Winter sees an even bigger rise in visitor numbers with staff finding it harder by the year to cope.
 
Rising costs

The current financial crisis, rising costs of services, energy and supplies; innovations and technological breakthroughs that require more investment – along with higher numbers of people to cater for – all spell out a huge economic disaster for the NHS.
 
It is estimated that without radical changes to the way the system works, as demand rises, and costs rise too, the NHS will become unsustainable, with huge financial pressures and debts. If we make no changes we face a £30 billion funding gap for the NHS nationally by 2020 .
 
Advances in medicine and technology

The great news amongst all of this gloom is that there has never been a better time to face an overhaul. Huge advancements in medicine and surgery, alongside IT and technological innovations mean that there is a wealth of ideas and efficiencies that could potentially be implemented to bring our NHS up to modern standards to meet the needs of us all in the 21 Century. Utilising these new approaches within a major restructure the NHS could go on to be a reassuring source of health care and wellbeing, as well as an inspirational model of good working practice for years to come.

More than half of nurses say that their patients expectations cannot be met with existing resources, and that this is the 'biggest problem' currently facing nursing. 

According to a survey of nurse opinion, 55% of respondents highlighted this issue as their biggest concern.

Other respondents reported that the biggest concern were those such as cuts to the nursing workforce, lack of support for those who raise concerns about quality of care, and pressure and lack of support for managers.
