Understanding the management and leadership needs of ward sisters and team leaders


The ward sister role has been identified as one of the most important roles in the delivery of high quality patient care. The importance of this role was recognised in The Francis Report (Francis, 2013) which recommended that ward sisters should operate in a supervisory capacity.The ward sister should be visible and accessible to both patients and staff alike. The ward sister should also know about the care of every patient on their ward. Ward sisters should be a role model and mentor and enable a caring culture. As they work alongside staff, they develop clinical competencies and leadership skills within the team.

The ward sister is the centre of the patient experience and has an impact on standards of patient care. Effective ward sister leader has a positive impact on patient outcomes, staff performance and overall patient and staff satisfaction.

There is no current set of agreed ward sister competencies and guide in England, with many providers developing systems locally to support ward sisters in their leadership and management development.

The handbook being developed will help and support aspiring and existing ward sisters to identify their own learning needs and areas where they require additional support. Ward sisters will also be able to recognise the aspects where they excel and use this to provide support to colleagues and peers. Trust Directors of Nursing will be able to use the handbook to review existing programmes of support to their ward sisters.

The handbook has been developed following discussions with many providers as well as national bodies such as the RCN and QNI.

The tweet chat will enable a wider audience to contribute to the content of the handbook. The author will take a lead role in the tweet chat sharing the experience of developing the handbook, responding to questions and engaging in conversation with other participants.

Examples of topics that willbe considered include:

·      What are the management skills required to be a ward sister/team leader?

·      What are the leadership skills required to be a ward sister/team leader?

·      What preparation would ward sisters have wanted prior to coming into post?

·      What are the key responsibilities and priorities of the ward sister role?

·      How does a ward sister balance the professional responsibilities and the management responsibilities of the role?

·      What competencies do you need as a ward sister?

·      How can ward sisters be best supported in their role?

Note the use of the term ward sister is generic and includes those working in in-patient settings and managing community teams. The nurse would be working at Band 7 and have 24 hour responsibility for the team and clinical service.


About our guest host

 Chat Summary

 

Post chat summary by Catherine Pelley

So this blog is a first for me. I’ve never written a blog and I had never run a chat before until last night when with the amazing @wenurses I was the guest host on a chat about the leadership and management skills of ward managers and team leaders. The chat was created to help shape work I’m doing on a handbook and competency guide for Band 7 nurses in providers. A guide that I hope will help develop further the nurses in this important role.

So what are the skills needed to be an effective ward manager? Practical skills such as people management, conflict resolution and delegation were considered essential. However overwhelmingly the comments related to the personal attributes of the nurse. Being trustworthy, visible and supporting and caring for your team were as important. As a role model the ward manager has such an influence on nurses and the wider team. Many spoke of their own experiences and what they felt was important. From this we do need to consider how we value and demonstrate the personal qualities we want from this role as much as the practical skills required.

Experience to be able to do the job well was also recognised, with the added risk that we were losing the experience and not considering the impact on the new workforce at this level. Preparation and support to the new ward manager is required and the need to plan for this now rather than wait until it’s too late.

I was also challenged about titles and if this applies to all settings. This is greater than the traditional role of the ward sister we all recognise. It’s creating a skilled workforce at Band 7 taking leadership responsibility for teams and patients in many settings of all care types.

The need to care for the team and each other is also important. The challenges of working in the NHS are so great that we cannot forget the needs of each other and our teams. Supporting the ward manager to support their team is essential.

Emotional intelligence and understanding self are considered key to the success of a ward manager. Personally I found out about this late in my career and can look back on those times when I could have done things differently if I had better understood this aspect of leadership in the way Ido now.

Whilst we can articulate the skills we want in a ward manager, we need to ensure that we prepare nurses for these roles, support them in these roles and help build effective teams.

An essential role that we need to value, develop and appreciate.

My next steps are to use this chat to enhance the content of the handbook I am developing.

Finally a huge thank you to all who took the time to contribute.
