I had to leave a specialist post because gaps in services meant my SEND child could not easily access school so I could not commit to the demands of a job I loved. I expect there are many others like me.

Sadly I think it's not uncommon

Good to see supervisory burden identified. IME many love the opportunity to teach and share their skills and knowledge but its often the final straw for an overstretched understaffed team.

Absolutely-and having that capacity is key to sustaining the next generation

I no longer work in the NHS. After over 30 years of nursing, I’m a Band 5 working for a charity, having been a Band 6 and 7 in the past.
We are better staffed than the NHS, I believe. I look after 3-5 pts each shift. However, unfortunately, nursing is desperately undervalued. How will that change?

It will change when the hiearchial empire of nursing allows nurses to be what they are-highly skilled knowledgeable doers who have fantastic clinical assessment skills but are not allowed to use them because of task orientation and risk averse practice. Stop constantly measuring care!

Yes, exactly! But we have also allowed ourselves to be devalued by allowing a cheaper, less qualified, workforce to take parts of our role.
We should be providing most aspects of care in order to properly assess & monitor our pts. Not sitting at a computer writing plans of care that nobody reads.

And particularly as no care plan being followed is a frequent concern of coroners

What.. Use the nursing process and not the medical model? Madness!!

Nurse care plans… the Emperor’s new clothes

Looking forward to reading this later, thank you for sharing. It was multifactorial in my case too (as many big 'life decisions' are) - I guess it demonstrates the importance of looking at the system as a whole to see where changes can be made.

...and where the 'warning signals' are.

alisonleary1.bsky.social•151 days ago

Absolutely-people decide to leave around 6 months before they actually do

returningdoctor.bsky.social•151 days ago

I suppose I was also thinking that if supervisory burden and taskification are emerging as push factors, then these are things that ought to be looked at now i.e. sooner rather than later/too late.

alisonleary1.bsky.social•151 days ago

Yes absolutely.
