This is proactive preventive use of services.

Maybe open referrals from District Nurse / UCR teams who will be able to name the people in their communities who would benefit from CGA type review?

Emma Vardy @emmavardy2.bsky.social · 4d

Currently:
1. Reaching out to GP/AHP
2. Triaging general medical referrals so we see older ppl.
3. Extending offer to see appropriate ppl referred to other specialty eg colorectal/cardiology.
4. Great conversation with ENT colleague today. Plans to divert older people referred with 'instability'.2/2

Something about a stitch in time perhaps 🤔
The knock on transferred cost is exactly what keeps poor people poor. But those who run the pot hole budget are only going to be interested in their budget - they don’t pay the NHS costs for the A&E attendance. It’s silo working and blinkered.

To be Fit for the Future (NHS England 2025) delivering prevention, in a digital way, in the community and we’re serious about change, we need to listen to the people already leading it from the ground up. END/ 🧵

But we also need to be bold. Ask for what we really need. We need better connectivity ( www.norfolk.gov.uk/article/6535... ) and we should be borrowing ideas from other industries that have already solved similar problems. 3/ 🧵

Digital systems should fit how we work, not the other way around. Real-time collaboration, less duplication, and fewer delays. That’s how we keep care safe and responsive. 2/ 🧵

I’ve been thinking a lot about how frontline nursing has changed — not just in what we do, but in how we lead. We’re no longer just implementers. We’re assessors, coordinators, advocates — and we need tools that actually support that. 1/ 🧵

I really like these. I hope they develop more. I’d like to see one for leg ulcer care and prevention #TVN and for urethral catheterisation

#FutureNurseCommunity
Really interesting debates and discussions from so many senior leaders across health and social care.
Refreshing to hear people holding each other to account. Haven’t we been having this conversation (hospital to community) for years? What’s stopping us from starting?

Start of the summer holidays - who’s ready for juggling parenting and work?!

I’m working on a clinical refresher session for nurses identifying rapidly deteriorating conditions ahead of terminal phase - so quiet river thinking time is much needed. #PallCare #NurseSky #DistrictNurse #WorkingMum

I think Andy Cowper is spot on when he suggests the Dash Safety Review conflates avoidable deaths caused by a failing health system with avoidable deaths caused by negligence and/or errors in care. www.gov.uk/government/p...

😆 “proper” tea drinkers. Got to be freshly drawn water, and poured on the boil.
As a nurse it took me ages to be able to drink hot tea or coffee because it didn’t taste right - and even now, I never finish a full cup.

I have the ‘official’ definition from @theqicn.bsky.social and #NMC, however …

#NHS #Nurse of #bluesky I want to know what you think and understand.

What is the role of a District Nurse? (Specifically, someone with the specialist practice qualification #SPQ)
