SKILLmix-ED

NIHR funded study, research on skill mixes with non-medical practitioners in EDs & UTCs in England, led by Dr Mary Halter & Prof Vari Drennan

[SKILLmix-ED @SkillmixE]

An NIHR study looking at the balance - known as 'skill-mix' - of nonmedical practitioners, doctors and nurses in a team and service achieves the best results. Patient and public representatives have helped design the study. Full protocol here https://t.co/ICKIRtD1aY

Demand for emergency healthcare hasn’t increased, complexity has. The proportion of people presenting to emergency departments with 5 or more chronic conditions has increased in the last seven years from 10% to 30% - @Vin_Diwakar

Couldn’t be more excited to see this published!

Incredible to see so many EM ACPs take the time to both champion the study and complete the survey.

Thanks to everyone involved - very proud to be part of such a great community of professionals.

So much variation in ACP job titles & roles, education & supervision. ACPs want more time for CPD and work across ALL 4 pillars, especially research. ⁦⁦⁦@NHS_HealthEdEng⁩ ⁦@BeverleyHarden⁩ ⁦

Thanks for being a member . It was an excellent first meeting with lots of good points and challenges raised for the study team to consider .

[Ian Crawford @IC_RCEM_NI]

I’m delighted to have participated in the first meeting of the Study Steering Committee for this important research earlier today. @RCEMpresident @RCollEM @SkillmixE

[SKILLmix-ED @SkillmixE]

@clifford0584 Thanks 4 re-tweet about the study🙂Good point re NMP . Each professional group (nurses , paramedics, physiotherapists etc. ) use diff names for advanced practice in ED, plus physician associates – sentences very long to list all. Hence NMP but open to other collective terms ?

[SKILLmix-ED @SkillmixE]

@alisonleary1 @MH_MaryHalter @clifford0584 @NursingTimes @RESEARCH_KUSGUL @ECCCR_KU_SGUL @VariDrennan Thanks - ACP also useful but as you point out it it doesn't include PAs - nomenclature is tricky🤔 Will discuss with our steering group , practitioner and public panels

[SKILLmix-ED @SkillmixE]

@alisonleary1 @MH_MaryHalter @clifford0584 @NursingTimes @RESEARCH_KUSGUL @ECCCR_KU_SGUL @VariDrennan Following on from previous reply. WHO uses non-physician clinicians and mid-level practitioners. British National Formulary uses non-medical healthcare professionals and non-medical prescribing as does HEE , and NHS England . Any suggestions for a diff collective term?Thanks

[SKILLmix-ED @SkillmixE]

Pleased to be doing this research with @VariDrennan and a great research team, with @NIHRresearch funding and supported by @RESEARCH_KUSGUL. Discussion and study updates will happen here @SkillmixE
