Welcome to the third edi on of Professional Focus. This newsle�er is dedicated to Educa on, why it is important, how we support it and what that means
for our future workforce
Mentorship
The Clinical Educa�on team currently manages a live Mentor Register
The Code presents the professional standards that nurses and midwives must uphold in order to be
registered to prac�se in the UK.
Effec�ve from 31 March 2015, this Code reflects the world in which we live and work today, and changing
roles and expecta�ons of nurses and midwives. It is structured around four themes – priori�se people,
prac�se effec�vely, preserve safety and promote professionalism and trust. Developed in collabora�on
with many who care about good nursing and midwifery, the Code can be used by nurses and midwives as a
way of reinforcing their professionalism. Failure to comply with the Code may bring their fitness to prac�se
into ques�on.

Student feedback (all placement requests must come via the placements team)
Students are now asked to provide feedback on their placement via surveymonkey.
This has already proved successful with an 800% increase in returned submissions. Examples below;
my mentor (Jacinta McGurn) was amazing. Arranged so many opportuni es and experiences for me. I was
made to feel so welcome and part of the team. She made this placement brilliant and made me consider
working in the community in the future
My mentors were great. Respiratory unit and other staff. They made me feel welcome. Lots of learning
opportuni es. Please join me in giving them a great big thank for the wonderful services they provide to the
community. Well done all!
Uoh Recruitment Event On 7th July CLCH, Sulekha Ali, Jumoke Oladipupo, Donna Thornley and Nira Varsani attended a Nursing celebration and recruitment event at our partner HEI, University of Hertfordshire. Nursing graduates were very keen to find out about the various career opportunities within offender health, community nursing and health visiting. It was great sharing positive stories about the work we do and what we offer once employed, in terms of support and continuous professional development. We received very positive feedback from the students, having had their community placement with CLCH and hope to attend more nursing and recruitment events throughout the year. Learning to Care Workshop at UoH Prior to attending the workshop ‘learning to care’ the first thought that occurred to me was ‘can you LEARN to care or is it already instilled in us?’ With this in mind, I was certainly thinking it was an intrinsic element – either you have it in you or you don’t and for someone in the nursing profession it would be quite an innate quality, right? This was an interesting presentation around research that was carried out to understand and discover whether there was evidence of caring behaviours in practice Below are some of the interesting findings from pre-registration nursing student whist in practice. ‘Some Nurses will just go in, do whatever, they are very task orientated, so do what they’ve got to do and move on to the next person’ MSc year 2 interview ‘It’s like the handover sheets they have - that checklist becomes the patient, i.e. Bed A when it should be Peter Jones in bed A’ Focus Group Student thoughts on Nature or Nurture: ‘I do like that approach of ‘Okay, we’ve sorted out this side so we can come and help you’. It’s all hands on deck, everybody’s going to be happy then and it’s about the patient at the end of the day, it’s not about how much work you have to do’ BSc year 1. ‘I think we’re debating what care means or compassion means because obviously compassion is a trait in somebody, being caring is a trait but so is love and if you love somebody, whether it be your child, your mother, your partner, whatever, you may see somebody else buying their mum a bunch of flowers, you may think ‘you know what? I’m going to buy my mum a bunch of flowers, cheer her up, Now that person hasn’t taught me to love my mum but they’ve taught me a strategy to show it and I think that some of us are caring people but we can be taught strategies in how to express that care’ BSc student, Yr 2
Having attended the session, I was more open to the fact that although caring is intrinsic it can be nurtured and the expression of caring can be taught. Some examples included role modelling; creating a culture of care, looking after staff, confidence and courage are some of the ways. What strategies should be adopted in clinical practice to ensure caring is routinely embedded in nursing care?
Mentor and Student stories - If you’ve had an exceptional student in your final year placement and you
Allied Health Professionals have been urged to support the Five Year Forward View.
The call came from Sir Malcolm Grant, NHS England’s Chairman, as he opened the first Chief Allied Health Professions Officer’s Con-
ference. “How can we cope with the extra demand of a growing and ageing popula�on? This is our biggest challenge. The old mod-
els of care are not working, that’s why we need to bring all our Allied Health Professionals to work together.
He said one focus of the Five Year Forward View was to tackle the funding gap, explaining: “The extra investment needed every year
exceeds infla�on. We have suggested the funding gap will be £30billion. So we have set out our idea for new models of care and set
up 29 Vanguards covering more than five million people. It’s not a pilot, as it’s not reversible.”

A message from the team; As always, we would like to thank our Mentors/Practice Educators for their continuous support with student education. We understand at times this can be a challenge. With large student numbers and a need to increase our mentor database, it may feel a little overwhelming at times. We are extremely proud of the positive feedback we receive and feel secure in the knowledge that students’ are receiving excellent placement experiences across the Organisation!
