International Nurses’ Day
International Nurses’ Day takes place on 12 May and is an opportunity for us to celebrate and thank all our nursing colleagues who provide care for our patients when they are at their most vulnerable and who make a difference to their lives and the lives of their families and loved ones.
Nursing is such a privilege and to be a part of someone’s lives, helping them on their road to recovery is such a special moment. We’re sharing some shining examples of nursing care by our colleagues, which you can read below. If you’ve felt inspired and are interested in joining the Nottinghamshire Healthcare family, you can find everything you need to know at https://recruitment.nottshc.nhs.uk/.
Ashfield District Nursing Team – working during Covid
The team have had a big transformation over the past year with two new team Leaders taking over during COVID.
They are two teams North and South Ashfield but to give the best quality care they work together to give the most appropriate visits to our staff to give consistent care to our patients.
During COVID the team adapted to the situation of changing guidance to PPE.
They are are seeing more complex patients in their own homes, this is to release beds in hospitals and reduce length of stay. Also to give palliative support to our patients who wish to remain at home.
We are working closer with Primary Care Networks and have built up a strong relationship.
The Staff have been very supportive of each other during some challenging times, also supporting staff who have had to work from home and adapting their skills in a remote way.
