Four evidence reviews written to support work NICE carried out on staffing levels in the NHS have been released. Under the Freedom of Information (FOI) Act, the documents had been withheld to give NHS Improvement time to study them in their new remit to consider service improvement. The release of the documents follows an internal review of the FOI decision.
We have now launched our new revalidation microsite at www.nmc.org.uk/revalidation

[Mental health] Practice nurses have passive listening skills, and to a lesser extent, use active listening techniques. However, there are no strict rules which way of responding is the best and patients value responses differently. Login using your SSSFT NHS OpenAthens for full text.

The most notable change to these documents concerns the advice surrounding the electronic storage of the reflective discussion and confirmation forms. We have been in regular contact with the Information Commissioner's Office on this matter and we are pleased to say that they have now updated their advice for nurses and midwives. We have reflected this updated advice in "How to revalidate with the NMC" as follows:
Your reflective discussion form and confirmation form contain personal data about another person. This means that there are data protection implications for nurses and midwives completing these forms. However, the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) recognises that it would be highly disproportionate to expect nurses and midwives to have to register with them as data controllers. The ICO has confirmed that it is not planning to take any action against any nurse or midwife for failing to register. You may choose to store your completed reflective discussion and confirmation forms in either paper or electronic format. You should still respect the fact that these forms contain personal data about your reflective discussion partner and confirmer.
Health Minister Ben Gummer today (17 December 2015) announced a plan to create a new nursing support role.
Provisionally called nursing associates, they will work alongside healthcare support workers and fully qualified nurses focusing on patient care.
The role, which could also be a new route for those wishing to become a registered nurse, has been recommended by nursing leaders and other healthcare professionals. The new addition to the care workforce will help bridge the gap between healthcare support workers, who have a care certificate, and registered nurses.
Read about changes to healthcare education funding for student nursing, midwifery and allied health students. Details about the proposed new route into nursing, a role provisionally called nursing associate, will be available here.
Person-Centred Care seems to be the latest thing the NHS has suddenly got excited about, but is it real, is it of value, will it last, or is it the latest fad?
A patient safety alert has been issued by NHS England to raise awareness of the importance of taking, recording and responding to vital signs where restraint has been used to manage a person’s behaviour if they are at risk to themselves or others.
We're currently making some changes in the background of our email updates to solve some problems we've been having recently. During our testing phase this may automatically generate some alerts, which will show below, but you can ignore these! If all goes according to plan we will be resuming normal service in the next week…
