Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children NHS Foundation Trust’s Post

Achieving milestones at end-of-life.

A Mission People... Celebrate Hospital Week at Baptist Health System We help people achieve health for life through compassionate care inspired by faith. The word “hospital” and “hospice” are derived from the Latin word hospes, which means both “guest” and “host. This history can direct ones thoughts towards hospitality. The word “hospitality” is synonymous with words like… “welcome, friendliness, warmth, generosity, cordiality, sociableness and openness”. Pause a second an consider what is needed for someone in the hospital who experiences being… lost, overwhelmed, out of control, injured, scared, angry, hurt, totally vulnerable. In these cases, hospitality is precisely at the foundation of what is needed to accompany our patients toward healing and wholeness. Hospitals that practice holistic hospitality are safe havens for the sick and vulnerable. Celebrating you this Hospital Week at BHS – What a Joy it is to serve hospitably together!

Raise the level of care today and tomorrow.

When it comes to answering the question "What do you do?" It gets complicated*! In a week I could be coaching a client to excel on the stage. Helping someone get over their fear of networking and that elevator pitch. Training business owners on no cost marketing. Networking via my confidential mastermind group and sharing leads that lead to hundreds of thousands of pounds of new business. I could be helping someone set up a blog or write their first book and get a publisher to take them seriously. I could be working with a really stressed out team who have stupid deadlines right now and are working silly hours, so they work less and get more done with less stress. I could be talking about overwhelm or I could be talking about how to be confident. Or I could be email coaching on one of my 14 courses. So, what do I do? *To say it's an honour to work with Julia is an understatement. Her dedication to her customers, mission and business are unparalleled. Watch this space as Julia is doing amazing things...I'm just the cheerleader! Well, let's just say it doesn't fit on a business card! So I mostly go by Author, Mentor and Cheerleader - and as I heard said many times today, kick butter - not sure I'm putting that on a business card! What do you do?

Our Hospitals are they in a good condition The state of Britain's hospitals is a complex and multifaceted issue, with no simple answer to whether they are in "good condition." Here's a breakdown of the current situation: Challenges: Underfunding: The NHS, the UK's public healthcare system, faces chronic underfunding, leading to staff shortages, outdated equipment, and long waiting times for treatment. A 2023 report by the King's Fund found that 40% of NHS trusts in England are "financially challenged." Staffing shortages: The NHS is experiencing a significant workforce crisis, with over 100,000 vacancies across various roles. This creates pressure on existing staff and affects patient care. Aging infrastructure: Many hospitals are in need of major repairs and upgrades, with some buildings dating back to the 19th century. This can compromise patient safety and comfort. Increasing demand: The UK's aging population and rising prevalence of chronic illnesses are putting increasing strain on the NHS, leading to longer waiting lists and delayed treatment. Positive Aspects: Highly skilled staff: Despite the challenges, the NHS workforce is known for its dedication and expertise. The 2023 CQC report for Medway Maritime Hospital, for example, praised the quality of care delivered by its staff. Universal access: The NHS provides free healthcare at the point of need to all UK residents, regardless of their income or background. This is a significant achievement compared to many other countries. Advancements in technology: The NHS is actively adopting new technologies like telehealth and AI to improve efficiency and patient care. Government initiatives: The government has announced several initiatives to address the challenges faced by the NHS, including increased funding and workforce development plans. Overall: Britain's hospitals face significant challenges due to underfunding, staff shortages, and aging infrastructure. However, there are also positive aspects, such as the dedication of its staff, universal access to healthcare, and advancements in technology. It's difficult to definitively say whether they are in "good condition" as it depends on the specific criteria used and individual experiences.

It's important to consult reliable sources and consider your own needs and priorities when forming an opinion.

Amidst Hospice Palliative Care Week, let's illuminate the importance of embracing a palliative approach to care. This week serves as a poignant reminder that the journey towards comfort and support begins long before the twilight hours. It's a recognition that the essence of palliative care transcends mere end-of-life considerations; it's about enriching the entirety of life's tapestry with compassion and understanding. In the spirit of this week, let's encourage early conversations about palliative care, fostering an environment where individuals and families feel empowered to explore their options and make informed decisions. By starting these dialogues sooner rather than later, we can ensure that every person receives the tailored support they deserve, enhancing their quality of life regardless of their prognosis. Together, let's honour Hospice Palliative Care Week by championing the belief that it's never too early to infuse care with kindness, dignity, and unwavering support. In doing so, we not only enrich the lives of those we care for but also affirm the profound value of compassion in every moment of existence. #NHPCW #PalliativeCareIsForYou
