We were delighted to meet with Minister Mary Butler and her officials today to discuss persectives and solutions to sustain and develop the role we play in supporting positive ageing in our communities. Family owned and operated homes are a critically important part of delivering a continuum of care within their local communities, drawing on experience and perspective built on tradition and family values. They are essential stakeholders and committed partners in a shared vision for a society which enables ‘ageing well in the community’. Sustaining and developing the role of local nursing homes is an important element in the delivery of any national policy for person-centred, positive ageing. Within this, we believe there are three key areas of focus required - 1. Enhancing Supports and Choice in the Community - Establishing a new approach to innovative partnerships with the HSE and local nursing homes to broaden the continuum of older person community supports. 2. Sustaining Quality though People - Protecting the delivery of quality care by establishing a workforce strategy which creates and sustains appropriate career pathways for those working in the sector. 3.  Securing Care for the Future - Ensuring the growing demand for high quality older person supports are met when and where they are needed by encouraging sustainable investment in enhanced nursing home facilities & services over the next decade.

What a story! One that we need to share broadly! The Ensign Pennant partnership! We are cut from the same cloth. Parellel core values, both organizations together on a mission to improve the care continuum. To provide life changing service in the post acute space. Our skilled nursing partners hosted some of us this week where we openly talked about what we need to do in order to improve our care across our organizations. Main takeaways- these are true partners, we need to embrace the EPCC partnership and treat them like cluster partners. Learn their buisness, meet often, share best practices, assist with opportunities and collaborate on new and innovative ideas on how to improve our care continuums, but most of all….tell the story. We have had significant growth in both Skilled nursing and HH Hospice we need to ensure our new employees know this relationship! So….tell the story!

Time to flip the script! 🔄 Care homes and our heroic nurses have faced tough press, but there's more to this story. 👩⚕️🏡 For too long, the narrative has been clouded by negativity, overshadowed by incidents that, while serious, aren't the full picture. We've seen headlines that could dishearten even the most devoted of us, especially during the trials of COVID-19. But there's an unsung side to this tale—the countless acts of compassion, dedication, and professionalism within our care homes. 🌟 These nursing staff aren't just employees; they're guardians of dignity, champions of care, and specialists in complex needs. They bring light and life into the homes of our ageing population, showing unwavering commitment and an often uncelebrated expertise. Their impact? Immeasurable. With Care Home Open Week approaching from June 24th to 30th, let's rally behind a new story. Let's not just acknowledge but applaud the incredible work happening in care homes. Let's celebrate the wins, learn from the losses, and push forward together for an industry that shines as a beacon of excellence and care. 🙌 We all own a piece of this narrative, and together, we have the power to transform it. Join us in spreading the positive tales, celebrating our unsung heroes, and remember, the invitation to reshape the future is open to everyone. Share your stories, experiences, and join the conversation. 🗣️ #CareHomeWeek #NursingExcellence #PositiveNarrative

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 

🌟 Let's Pop Our Nursing Bubble and Reach Out to Others! 🌟 As Judith Shamian puts it, let's break free from our nursing bubble and embrace the power of mixing art and science to build effective strategies. Nursing is not just about the technicalities; it's about reaching out, connecting, and making a difference beyond our immediate sphere. Florence Nightingale's words resonate deeply: "Unless we are making progress in our nursing every year, every month, every week, take my word for it, we are going back." Progress isn't just a concept—it's a necessity. It's about constantly evolving, learning, and pushing boundaries. So, dear colleagues, let's reflect on our roles, embrace change, and strive for excellence. Together, we can shape a brighter future for nursing and healthcare. #InnovationInHealthcare #Leadership #Inspiration #Progress #Courage #MahatmaGandhi #FlorenceNightingale #ESNO2024 #thisisWhatNurselookslike 

Such an important area of nursing practice ❤️

What are our Core Values as a Coalition? Feasibility, Equity, Sustainable Impact, and Collaboration - all driving forces behind our mission to improve nursing home quality. As we navigate the complexities of improving the quality of care for nursing home residents, these values guide every step we take: 1. Feasibility: We focus on turning our vision into practical, actionable change. By including a range of perspectives and backgrounds on each committee, we ensure that our efforts translate into tangible improvements that benefit nursing home residents. 2. Equity: We are dedicated to fostering changes that increase equity in nursing home care. Recognizing the disparities that exist, we strive to include lived experiences even in the more technical initiatives so that all residents benefit. Equity is not just a goal but a fundamental principle that shapes our initiatives. 3. Sustainable Impact: Our commitment extends beyond immediate changes. We are working to identify and test initiatives that ultimately lead to lasting impact and withstand the test of time. 4. Collaboration: Change is a collective effort - most notably the perspectives of nursing home residents, their family members, care partners, providers, care workers, and a range of experts in the #longtermcare industry. Our collaborative spirit has been the catalyst for building a coalition that maintains a focus on identifying transformative change. Everyone deserves to age with dignity and quality care. 🌟 Join us in putting residents first: https://lnkd.in/eHQc-sYR Together, we can build a sustainable network that not only drives change now but continues to make a difference for generations to come. #MovingForward #NursingHomeQuality #CoreValues #Feasibility #Equity #SustainableImpact #Collaboration #EmpoweringChange #ChangeLeadership #SeniorLiving #ElderCare #LongTermCare
