to my general practice nursing friends, has anyone had success in the land of PCN's?

[wendie smith @SmithWendie]

@JessBlakeOT I remember standing up to a nurse manager in medicine who wanted to discharge a frail lady without care. I declined saying it was inhumane. I was a discharge nurse it was my job to consider all aspects. The uproar and the subsequent reprimand was worth my patients safety

@nursemaiden @WeNurses Unfortunately there a people that will work for the pay and those without experience too

[wendie smith @SmithWendie]

Just held the last social care nurse forum in BNSSG with the best group of people in attendance. @squary0803 it’s been a pleasure sharing this journey with you

[wendie smith @SmithWendie]

@Doctor_Erin_ The pay doesn’t reflect the training, responsibility or the emotional investment. I’m sorry this is the case…. Thank you for being so dedicated you will do it despite all this. Fair pay is crucial

@tamsin_mauri @squary0803 @BNSSG_THub @HTBNSSG @NorthBristolNHS @WHCHospice @St_Monica_Trust @CareSupportWest @KiActiv @KerriMagnus Your team talk about well-being and looking after the team was amazing! Hoping social care organisations will utilise the service. ❤️

@squary0803 @BNSSG_THub @HTBNSSG @NorthBristolNHS @WHCHospice @St_Monica_Trust @CareSupportWest @KiActiv We smashed it, making a change empowering social care nurses to really be part of the system change needed to provide cohesive excellent care #wearesocialcarenursing

@linzinurse88 @janeeedouglas @dtbarron @Pollybird1 Totally agree and team working improved

[wendie smith @SmithWendie]

@IVANCORNFORD @janeeedouglas @dtbarron @Pollybird1 Local res home has nurse and has QI in home

[wendie smith @SmithWendie]

@janeeedouglas I agree the expectations exceed the current model of out of hospital care with multimorbidity and complexities. Registered and non registered staff need upskilling and ongoing support to discuss management of residents to fulfil their health potential #wearesocialcarenursing

[wendie smith @SmithWendie]

@alisonleary1 I stayed to do a night after a late as work load was unsafe with 1 nurse and was berated after. A broken system of staff undervalue and patient safety could do without my support I felt

[wendie smith @SmithWendie]

@CoxonGeorge Love a good holiday read!!

[wendie smith @SmithWendie]

@JoClarkePharm @rpharms @BNSSG_THub Well done Jo

[wendie smith @SmithWendie]

@EmmaPunc I think any course that can end so abruptly after hard work is a worry. A second attempt is a great opportunity to rework an assignment don’t let fear of failure overshadow your success

[wendie smith @SmithWendie]

Great training with @CF7stages today as part of @BNSSG_ICB learning academy. Evidence based framework to ensure services flourish

[wendie smith @SmithWendie]

@StN_Freda @EmmaPunc I agree but also understanding that not letting a student progress is part of the professional pathway. I hope they continue their career in the best way for them

[wendie smith @SmithWendie]

@JoStucke @alisonleary1 If we think that we are that, I don’t see myself as a blurred role more a proud nurse working within a team

[wendie smith @SmithWendie]

@Chubbycherry77 @alisonleary1 Leadership and management are seen as synonymous but they are worlds apart
