Patients’ voices are so important in process improvement and growth. If we don’t know we can’t fix it. Patient experience and quality is intertwined in everything we do in healthcare or should be. Meeting patient needs is more successful when you embrace patient family centered care. #patientexperience #patientcenteredcare #patientadvocacy #patientsafety

Lighting ceremony is an auspicious occasion in every nurse's life with reverence to Florence Nightingale. Nursing is the only profession that follows lamp lighting ceremonies. Here light not only symbolizes knowledge which removes ignorance and is a lasting wealth by which lots could be achieved but it also signifies the enlightenment, experience, hope, love, comfort, and positivity _ driving away from the negativity that darkens everything. #snsinstitutions #snsdesignthinkers #designthinking

If the doctor told you that you were gonna die today, what would be your biggest regret? What is left undone? What did you not get to? What do you need to say and to whom? Seriously. Think about it. Because once you identify that biggest regret, you can begin to order your 4th Quarter with more direction and purpose. Here are 5 of the top regrets hospice nurses hear consistently: - I wish I'd had the courage to just be myself. - I wish I had spent more time with the people I love. - I wish I had taken more risks. - I wish I had taken better care of myself. - I wish I had discovered my purpose earlier. What about you? What would be your biggest regret? Take a step now to begin to address that. Now is your time. #NoRegrets  #4thQuarter  #FourthQuarter

We're pleased to share that The London Clinic has been selected as a finalist for the Nursing Times award for the Learning Disabilities Nursing Award!    This award recognises the unique role that nurses have in supporting patients with learning disabilities, along with their families and carers, to achieve and maintain good health, wellbeing and their full potential. It focuses on how nurses or nursing teams work to break down barriers that may prevent participation in society or result in health inequalities.      We're honoured to be selected on the shortlist and can't wait for the awards announcements in October.     The London Clinic’s award entry focuses on a project which is about reaching beyond what constitutes a reasonable adjustment. Our Clinical Site Team identified areas of improvement in care for patients admitted with additional needs, and developed a new care framework. This includes:  • improved patient passports   • identification and escalation of patients with additional needs at pre-assessment  • review of time booked for consultations  • further training and education  • policy reviews  • a consistent working group  • assurance into the Patient Safety Committee  • review of patient experience data including support from patients at the patient forum  • improved communication aids   • family/carer involvement.      This also included the appointment of two lead roles within the Clinical Site Practitioner Team including our Dementia Lead (Dawn) and our Learning Disability and Autism Lead (Joao). The team have taken a multi professional approach to the project making sure that all teams are working together to ensure this particular cohort of patients receive safe quality care that is tailored to their individual needs.     #NursingTimesAward #LearningDisabilitiesCare #Nursing #Nurses #TheLondonClinic #LondonHospital #PrivateHealthcare #AwardShortlist
