EventuntilThe Nightingale Frontline Leadership Support Service aims to support the additional and extraordinary leadership responsibilities of staff at all levels of the organisation and enable them to continue to guide their patients, staff and the service during and after this crisis.

The leadership support will be facilitated by our expert FNF Associate Facilitator and our senior nurse and midwife scholar and alumni network who are highly experienced and skilled in a method of Action Learning known as Co-consulting.

Supporting second victims: breaking the cycle of harm
Claire Cox posted an article in Second victim
'Second victim' is the term used to refer to healthcare workers who are impacted by patient safety incidents. Whilst patients and families will always be the first priority following safety incidents, the well-being of the staff involved is often overlooked but can leave staff lacking confidence, unable to perform their job, requiring time off or leaving their profession. This is a slide set from Rebecca Lawton (Yorkshire and Humber Patient Safety Translational Research Centre) for the National Institute for Health Research and Yorkshire and Humber Improvement Academy, explaining what second victim is and how we can do better to support staff. -
Content ArticleThere is a growing body of evidence to demonstrate that health professionals feel emotionally distressed after a patient safety incident and there is an emerging recognition of the potential negative impact on both the health professionals’ health and on patient safety. The Canadian Institute for Patient Safety partnered with the Mental Health Commission of Canada to develop a new toolkit for peer-to-peer support programmes in healthcare. It includes tools, resources and templates from organisations across the globe who have successfully implemented their own peer support programmes for healthcare providers, and is intended for policy makers and regulators, administrators, managers, healthcare teams and peer supporters.
