    A thought-provoking blog about what it's like nursing in the emergency department (ED) when there are no beds.

    The Care Quality Commission (CQC) is the independent regulator of health and adult social care in England. We make sure that health and social care services provide people with safe, effective, compassionate, high-quality care and we encourage care services to improve.  When CQC inspects health and care services they assess how well these services meet people’s needs. As part of this, they look at how people’s medicines are optimised. Medicines optimisation is the safe and effective use of medicines to enable the best possible outcomes for people. It also looks at the value that medicines deliver, making sure that they are both clinically and cost effective, and that people get the right choice of medicines, at the right time, with clinicians engaging them in the process.

    A report from the Royal College of Nursing (RCN) and Queen’s Nursing Institute (QNI) calls for urgent investment in District Nursing, as new figures show the number of District Nurses working in the NHS has dropped by almost 43 percent in England alone in the last ten years.

    The Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman (PHSO) has published a report following investigations into the deaths of two vulnerable young men. They found a series of significant failings in their mental health care and treatment.  The PHSO are publishing the report and recommendations to alert parliament to systemic problems in care and treatment of patients with acute mental health problems at former North Essex Partnership University NHS Foundation Trust. NHS Improvement has agreed to establish a review in line with our recommendations and will share any learning it identifies across the NHS as needed. The North Essex Partnership University NHS Foundation Trust (now merged into the Essex Partnership University NHS Foundation Trust) has accepted the recommendations and are committed to continuing to work the PHSO to put things right. It is important the NHS understands why this happened and what lessons can be learned to prevent it happening again.

    This improvement resource set out by the National Quality Board is to help standardise safe, sustainable and productive staffing decisions in maternity services. This is an improvement resource to support staffing in maternity settings. It describes the principles for safe maternity staffing across the multiprofessional team to ensure women and their families receive joined-up care appropriate to their needs and wishes. The purpose of this resource is to help providers of NHS-commissioned services, boards and executive directors to support their head/director of midwifery and other lead professionals in implementing safe staffing for maternity settings. NHS provider boards are accountable for ensuring their organisation has the right culture, leadership and skills for safe, sustainable and productive staffing.

    In 2016, thirteen organisations from health, social care and local government came together to create the Developing People Improving Care framework, an evidence-based national framework to guide action on improvement skill-building, leadership development and talent management for people in NHS-funded roles. One year on, NHS Improvement highlight some of the work taking place, demonstrating the steps people are already taking to ensure systems of compassion, inclusion and improvement are at the core of the health and care system. They also set out plans for the year ahead and some of the steps you can take to learn more about the framework.

    Professor Anne Marie Rafferty, Royal College of Nursing (RCN) President, has been involved in two decades of vital nursing workforce research. She explains in this interview for the RCN how the evidence could help us achieve safe staffing.

    Motivation and how to use it is a complex science, motivating yourself is hard, motivating others is even harder. When trying to make improvements in the NHS we need to think carefully about how we motivate our staff to bring about change and improve patient outcomes. This blog by Adam Burrell,  Improvement Lead for Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust, discusses staff motivation and incentives.

    Evidence highlights the intrinsic link between nurse staffing and expertise, and outcomes for service users of healthcare, and that workforce retention is linked to the clinical and organisational experiences of employees. However, this understanding is less well established in mental health. This study from Cook et al. comprises a retrospective observational study carried out on routinely collected data from a large mental healthcare provider. Two databases comprising nurse staffing levels and adverse events were modelled using latent variable methods to account for the presence of multiple underlying behaviours. The analysis reveals a strong dependence of the rate of adverse events on the location and perceived clinical demand of the wards, and a reduction in adverse events where registered nurses exceed ‘clinically required levels’. In the first study of its kind, these findings present significant implications for nursing workforce policy and present an opportunity to not only improve safety but potentially impact nurse retention.

    I can’t find any guidance for safe staffing here in the UK. I would like to know how Trusts decide their staffing template. Who decides, how it’s decided and if that is adhered to.

    This study from Cho et al. examined the association of nurse staffing and education with the length of stay of surgical patients in acute care hospitals in South Korea. They found that nurse staffing and nurses’ education levels were significantly associated with the length of stay of surgical patients in South Korean hospitals. The findings from this study suggest that the South Korea healthcare system should develop appropriate strategies to improve the nurse staffing and education levels to ensure high-quality patient care in hospitals.
