I may be a little biased as I happen to know someone involved in creating this report (ahem, Christopher Tack) but I think it's imperative that we look more closely at the digital readiness/literacy of teams using digital technologies across the NHS (particularly given how much is being spent on EPRs and Connected Care Records). Technology can do wonderful things but it's the humans adopting these technologies that will make the biggest changes. Digital is a fantastic enabler of change but too often we see 'pilots' and 'projects' wither on the vine, not because the technology doesn't work but because the teams using the tools weren't properly upskilled from a foundational level. Digital literacy (IMO) doesn't come from going through training on a chosen EPR system, it goes much deeper than that and should be embedded in all NHS training. https://lnkd.in/ef9hwhug

Organizing the 40th External Assessors' Training for nursing cadre was not just a professional milestone but also a rewarding experience in contributing to public health. This training program was designed to enhance the skills and knowledge of participants, enabling them to uphold the highest standards of quality in healthcare delivery. Key highlights of the training: 1. Tailored sessions to empower nursing professionals, who are integral to the backbone of healthcare quality. 2. A focus on practical insights, fostering an in-depth understanding of quality standards in primary healthcare facilities. By strengthening the capacity of assessors, this initiative directly impacts the quality of care in public health institutions, ensuring better health outcomes for communities. Witnessing the dedication and enthusiasm of the participants was truly inspiring, reaffirming the importance of investing in capacity-building initiatives for a healthier nation. Grateful to all at NHSRC who contributed to the success of this program. Together, we are shaping a more robust and equitable healthcare system. #QualityCareMatters #PublicHealthLeadership #HealthEquity #QualityInHealthcare #StrongerHealthcareSystems

📚 The difference between "how much you know" and "how well you learn" can make or break our success in healthcare. We can have all the knowledge in the world, but it's our ability to continuously learn, adapt, and grow that really elevates patient care. 💡 Image credit: Pejman Milani In nursing, this means we’re not just applying textbook knowledge but also learning from every interaction, every patient, and every community we serve. Every day is an opportunity to learn something new that can improve outcomes and strengthen the bond we have with those under our care. 🌱 And it's not just about our patients—nursing professionals learn from each other too. When we collaborate, share insights, and offer support, we all grow. Success isn't about knowing it all; it's about learning as we go and lifting each other up along the way. 🚀 How have you experienced success through learning?🎤 #nursingsuccess #learningoverknowing #continuouslearning #healthcareleadership #nursesonlinkedin #nurseeducation #professionalgrowth #adaptability #patientcare #nursingcommunity #peerlearning #nursingsupport #collaborativecare #innovationinhealthcare #nursingskills #healthcareteamwork #learningjourney #growthmindset #nursingprofessionals #leadershipinnursing #nursingdevelopment #nurseshelpingnurses #healthcareimprovement #bettertogether #sharedlearning #alwayslearning

The toughest challenge in worldwide #nursing How to grow without getting burnt-out! visit https://lnkd.in/dyQxDZJv Every #healthcare organization around the world wants to grow and serve more patients. Every healthcare professional working around the world wants to be a part of that growth story; but rarely it is achieved without creating stress for both orgs and individuals. The big contributor to this condition is the lack of continuous, conscious, and intentional support for every individual working in the system. Orgs want to support but it boils down to resources. Individuals want to improve, but getting out of the daily routine is difficult. Satisfaction farm solves these two problems. This online, collaborative platform gives individuals an opportunity to learn at their own pace in a totally psychologically safe environment and it relieves resource pressure from organizations. In addition, community and personalized support for individuals add tangible value to users. #nursesonlinkedin Here is the story of Satisfaction Farm -

Higher education and healthcare are facing a shared workforce crisis, yet too often, we work in silos rather than as partners. Imagine the impact if we broke down those barriers and co-created intentional pathways from classrooms to care settings. We need bold, innovative partnerships to build a pipeline of future-ready healthcare professionals. Are we truly collaborating, or are we still playing it safe? It’s time for us to step up, align our efforts, and rethink how we prepare the next generation. Who’s ready to join forces and take on this challenge? Let’s get serious about solutions—together. #HeartLeader #Healthcare #Medicine #Education #HealthcareonLinkedin #NursesonLinkedin #Nurses #Nursing #Physicians #Health
