Essen Health Care’s Post

The Chancellor recently announced the “most ambitious productivity review ever undertaken by government”. For the 2023 REAL challenge lecture, Professor Dame Diane Coyle, Bennett Professor of Public Policy at the University of Cambridge, explored some of the key drivers of UK healthcare productivity and discussed what we might hope the NHS will look like when it reaches its centenary. Listen in. A golden opportunity for me to share the fact that NHS Knowledge and Library teams can play a key role in supporting improved productivity, sharing evidence on changed ways of working that make a difference to the quality of care, save time and impact the bottom line. They bring the Gift of Time to the NHS - delivering an economic benefit of 1:2.4 for starters, increasing to 1:3.85 where knowledge specialists search and summarise evidence for their healthcare colleagues.

Why Embrace Clinical Supervision? 💚Professional Support for Everyone Clinical supervision transcends the boundaries of individual practitioners and workplace environments. It’s a cornerstone that supports not just healthcare professionals but also the individuals they serve. By fostering a secure and reflective environment, clinical supervisors play a pivotal role in enhancing the quality of care through continuous practice improvement. In professions dedicated to aiding others, structured reflection is indispensable. It’s a space where knowledge blooms, skills are honed, and attitudes are refined. At the heart of this process is reflection, a powerful tool that empowers through learner-led consultation and support. Join us at the Australian Clinical Supervision Association (ACSA) as we champion clinical supervision—a beacon of continuous professional development.

Here's another excerpt from my new book "Public Health Entrepreneurship: Navigating the Intersection of Purpose and Profit". "Public health professionals, much like their counterparts in nursing, dedicate their lives to the well-being of others. While nursing is revered and consistently celebrated as one of the most trusted professions, public health professionals are often not recognized for their efforts. The irony lies in the fact that while nurses are hailed as "healthcare heroes”, especially in times of crisis, public health professionals remain the “unsung heroes”, their work often invisible to the public eye yet indispensable to the public’s health. When I transitioned from a nursing culture known for "eating their young" to the public health field, I left behind a well-paying and highly respected role for a sector where being overworked, underpaid, undervalued, and underappreciated is, unfortunately, all too common. Despite these challenges, passion, dedication, and deep commitment to improving health and well-being remain the driving forces in both nursing and public health. These professions are bound by a shared mission to care for others, yet they are also united by the systemic challenges that erode morale and hinder our ability to make a difference. The culture of each must be changed. " Do you agree?... Pre-order your copy of my new book at quishaumemba.com/book

In this conversation, Julie Combes from NHS Elect joins Tara to explore the importance and challenges of clinical supervision in healthcare. Julie highlights the crucial role of time and support, the benefits for professionals and organisations, and the resources provided by NHS Elect to support healthcare systems and individuals. Key Takeaways: ➡️ Clinical supervision offers valuable reflective time and development opportunities. ➡️ Time is a major challenge, but it's essential to find moments in the day for reflection and make every contact count. ➡️ Clinical supervision, while not mandatory, positively impacts retention rates and staff well-being. ➡️ Becoming a clinical supervisor involves professional accountability and seeking appropriate education and training. ➡️ Organisations without structured supervision programs can find support and resources from external networks and organisations.

Implications for Practice: Leveraging Humor as a Positive Resource The study not only underscores the multifaceted potential of humor within the realm of MAs' work and education but also offers tangible insights for practitioners. By recognizing and nurturing humor as a positive resource, healthcare institutions can foster a conducive environment that promotes well-being, teamwork, and ultimately, better patient care. Join us in reimagining healthcare through the lens of humor—a powerful tool that transcends boundaries and cultivates a culture of resilience and empathy among medical professionals. https://lnkd.in/euwmGXaD

Join us for our Advocacy Day in Annapolis on January 29th. Click to register-->https://lnkd.in/eQg-x3ic Why are we working so hard to pass new legislation? 1.     Modernization: An update of our antiquated statutes and regulations are needed to better reflect the current landscape of PA practice. This initiative seeks to alleviate administrative burdens and enhance access to care to Marylanders. 2.     Team-Based Practice: While PAs are not advocating for independent practice, we believe the traditional model of a single physician supervising a PA needs reevaluation. In today's healthcare environment, PAs often operate within multi-disciplinary teams led by physicians, collaborating with various healthcare professionals rather than relying on a single supervisor. 3.     No Change in Scope: We intend to align a Physician assistant’s scope of practice to their skills and education. Additionally, we aim to hold PAs accountable for their care, similar to other licensed and regulated healthcare professionals in Maryland. The outdated practice laws significantly impede our ability to provide Maryland residents with timely, safe, and appropriate care.
