New Project Report in RRH: The Rural Hand Therapy Project – providing hand therapy services closer to home by Sue Williams, Lin Wegener and Gail Kingston. https://lnkd.in/dgMvEPkR Rural patients with a hand injury often receive initial hand surgery and rehabilitation in metropolitan or larger regional centres. Access to follow-up treatment for rural patients after the initial phase of care can be affected by transport options, distance, staff shortages and availability of hand therapists (0occupational therapists or physiotherapists who have specialised skills in optimising functional use of the hand and arm after injury). After experiencing an increase in volume and complexity of hand therapy referrals, Toowoomba Hospital, a regional hospital in the Darling Downs Health Service (DDHS) in rural Queensland, Australia, found their existing model of care did not meet the needs of rural patients or therapists, risking poorer clinical outcomes. This Project Report describes the development and success of a new shared-care model by the DDHS – The Rural Hand Therapy Project – designed to better support rural hand therapists and rural patients in accessing follow-up hand therapy services closer to home. #ruralhealth #alliedhealth #australia #handtherapy #telehealth James Cook University Queensland Health Southern Queensland Rural Health

About 114,600 openings for medical assistants are projected each year, on average, over the decade. Many of those openings are expected to result from the need to replace workers who transfer to different occupations or exit the labor force, such as to retire. ~U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics #CNA #certifiednursingassistant #CCMA #CertifiedClinicalMedicalAssistant #medicalassistant #CMA #certifiedmedicationaide #medicationaide #CPR #BLS #Heartsaver #AED #firstaidtraining #Phlebotomy #onlineclasses #hybridclasses

Leading workforce consultancy services for WorkforceOne, the workforce consultancy division of AuditOne, hosted by Cumbria, Northumberland, Tyne and Wear NHS Trust
If you read one thing this month make it this report: An exploration of the experiences of ethnic minority practitioners and International Medical Graduates of the management of concerns about their medical practice carried out by Opinion Research Services - 💡fascinating reading, the only thing I would change would be to broaden the sample size. This research casts a lens over the lived experience of #ethnicminority and International Medical Graduate (IMG) practitioners who are subject to a formal performance/ managing concerns process. The report raises a number of concerns and themes as to the management of individuals and we can echo some of this having worked with a number of #NHS clients across the country and witnessing first hand how this manifests in case management. Well done to everyone involved in this work and hopefully it will be welcomed by #NHS employers. “Most participants described a culture of bullying, discrimination and blame within the NHS, and an unwillingness to address it. They also felt that the NHS is reluctant to listen to practitioners’ concerns, often demonising and ostracising them. Examples were provided about concerns about patient safety not being listened to, experiences of racial discrimination being disregarded and extenuating circumstances not being taken into account. However, some practitioners expressed pride and admiration for the NHS.” #investigation #complaints #performance #fairandjust #eqaulity #whistleblowing Workforceone https://lnkd.in/eE48uQe8

This article should be about “3 Ways Residency Programs Can Treat Medical Residents Like Normal Humans” Instead, the AMA writes an article encouraging residents to hire people to do their laundry, clean their house and cook their meals because the toxic culture of medicine forces medical residents to work 80+ hours a week for little pay while sacrificing their wellbeing for the sake of training. AMA should be striving for ways to prevent exploitation of medical residents. Instead, they choose to write something that perpetuates a toxic cycle of burnout and a broken medical system. If the APTA published an article like this, I’d have some choice words for my professional association. #medicine #residency #healthcare #burnout #physicianlife #leadership

Just completed a 3-day work experience programme at Kettering General Hospital, where I had the opportunity to shadow and meet different healthcare professionals. From therapists to doctors, radiographers to pharmacists, I was able to witness different job roles but with the same approach to work ethics. It was fascinating to see how the pharmacy section operates with everyone doing different tasks, but working together towards the same goal of distributing the correct medicine to patients. Communication and teamwork were key in achieving this. I learned that regardless of job title, showing compassion, respect, and being reliable at work are essential qualities in healthcare. #healthcare #teamwork #workexperience

Thankyou to Nuffield Trust and Rebecca Rosen. Their briefing on the vulnerable position of general practice is key. https://lnkd.in/e7iyryFd High quality primary care - with a diverse team - capable of addressing both the medical AND the non- medical (wider determinants of health) as per Sir Michael Marmot, are key. Amid the narrative of 'we need more GPs" we must not forget the nuance of how that team operates and the skills they have. We have made huge progress in bringing in wider skills often better placed to address wider determinants (even than GPs). Having medical supervision is important, working as a team is important, but also valuing the non-medical aspects of care in its own right, with supervision and support to also protect and grow this aspect. Personalised Care - the 3 new roles of health coach, social prescribing link worker and care co-ordinator, need nurturing and growing......career structure, ongoing training and support to cement their place in primary care teams.....not just be used as cheap admin, or substitute receptionists. Continuty for the right people is key, but we need to hold that across health and social issues. GPs often don't want to do this, certainly not on their own. Let's keep the focus on primary care teams , with a wide range of skills, working collaboratively. We probably do need more GPs to steward this approach (certainly better to expand GPs then hospital consultants), but they need to be part of diverse inclusive teams, with leadership drawn from across the skill sets.
What health and care need from the next government: #3 – General practice and dentistry
