#WeNurses - Thursday 5th December 2019 8pm (GMT Standard Time) Working well together

If you haven't joined in a tweet chat before it's very simple.    Here's a guide





 Chat Details

 

Hosted by WeNurses using #WeNurses

It has been great to see the advent of a new Twitter community hashtag #TeamPatient:

   

 

It's been fantastic to watch from afar the beginning of this community but at the same time it is clear that there is much work to be done around the nurse- patient relationship both in real life on on social media.  There was recently a Twitter thread that highlighted some concerns:

   

  

  

  

   

  

With this in mind this #WeNurses tweetchat aims to explore the nurse - patient relationship and how we can work well together, some of the questions we will be asking are:

  • What does nurses and patients working together currently look like ? Both in real life and social media
  • What does "good" look like in terms of working together  with the people we care for? 
  • How can we best support/facilitate frontline staff and patients to work together to find common solutions to common problems?
  •  Once solution worked out how do we support them both to change policy?
  • Does social media have a role to play in patients and nurses working together? 
  • What one thing would you change that would make nurses and patients working together a positive and productive experience?

Everyone is welcome to this tweetchat - nurses, patients, family members, other healthcare professionals ... everyone adds value.

 @WeNurses Evening, currently I am both the patient and the nurse looking after myself. ?? Excited for a great topic discussion this evening! #WeNurses https://t.co/Q1rDosfXBW

 @WeNurses Hello, this sounds easy but quite tricky in practice as you have different agendas and priorities especially in service provision. Its finding a middle way that works for both #wenurses
@WeNurses
05 December 2019 20:05
 Sounds fab #WeNurses https://twitter.com/mikeythenurse/status/1202680259700617216

 @WeNurses When you can have a conversation that works for both parties. Or learn something from each other and not always to do with their health #wenurses
@AgencyNurse
05 December 2019 20:07
 @alimully @WeNurses yes i think you have a point ... sounds easy ... but the reality is that it takes a lot of hard work..... however the rewards are great #WeNurses
@mikeythenurse
05 December 2019 20:07
 @WeNurses In real life it takes many forms depending on the setting. Within the community it involves population groups working alongside health professionals/nurses to identify community health needs and design appropriate approaches to address them #WeNurses
@WeNurses
05 December 2019 20:08
 So how can we change this #WeNurses https://twitter.com/simonmarkdaley/status/1202680900615626755

@mikeythenurse
05 December 2019 20:09
 @WeNurses In clinical settings it means a partnership of shared power. We work with the patients to identify their needs, the barriers to addressing them, provide possible solutions and interventions which we can support around, and support when patients make their decisions #WeNurses
@knitknitqueen
05 December 2019 20:09
 @alimully @WeNurses Too many services and lack of communication can make it challenging. #wenurses I was talking to a patient about their appointments, so many bits of paper. A centralised system with one letter makes sense
@WeNurses
05 December 2019 20:09
 #WeNurses - all good points https://twitter.com/Queensi21/status/1202681403206520832
@CharlotteNHSRN
05 December 2019 20:10
 @WeNurses I think an good example is nurses REALLY stopping and listening to what it is the patient is saying, asking, and not simply responding. But understanding what it is the patient is seeking...sadly a lack of time in most cases is a current resistance to this process. #WeNurses

 Healthcare workers are now having to wear so many hats #WeNurses
@mikeythenurse
05 December 2019 20:10
 @WeNurses In social media it is about nurses working to highlight the voices of patients describing their experiences, amplifying patient perspectives to ensure that all health professionals step outside of their health care bubble to hear directly from patient experience #WeNurses
@AgencyNurse
05 December 2019 20:10
 yes indeed time can be a huge factor ... but isn't it time well invested ? #WeNurses https://twitter.com/CharlotteNHSRN/status/1202681588724772866

 @WeNurses Student nurse here :) I’m guessing nurses and patients working together would refer to the therapeutic relationship that is built over a period of time where the patient feels comfortable around the nurse and trusts them. #WeNurses
@TurnerNurse
05 December 2019 20:11
 @WeNurses #Wenurses We could be talking about nurses working together, MDTs, wider services, or something that's been on my mind recently physical and mental health pathways working together
@AgencyNurse
05 December 2019 20:12
 @mikeythenurse @WeNurses It's also about just conversing with patients and families ... being open and welcomming #WeNurses
@theresahorne748
05 December 2019 20:12
 @WeNurses True effective communication. Understanding that each can know about the conditions/symptoms etc and neither is superior. #wenurses
@WeNurses
05 December 2019 20:12
 Interesting .... perhaps many of the tweets already sent can apply across the board ? #WeNurses https://twitter.com/TurnerNurse/status/1202682022487101442
@CharlotteNHSRN
05 December 2019 20:13
 @WeNurses In terms of SM- I don’t think we have moved forward as much as we could currently be capable of. Someone even told me on here I shouldnt express my emotions of a bad shift- because potential patients reading it may not seek healthcare in fear of upsetting me- ?? #WeNurses
@knitknitqueen
05 December 2019 20:13
 @CharlotteNHSRN @WeNurses Yes picking up on those emotional cues. Challenging when we do not have a chance to sort our own emotions and expected to pick up on others #wenurses
@mikeythenurse
05 December 2019 20:14
 @AgencyNurse @WeNurses 100%. I'm well connected with aspects of our services population groups in part because of my social media presence. Showing openness and welcoming is vital when representing our profession online. #WeNurses

 #wenurses hi everyone, Lilian from IOW. The pt/nurse collaboration is vital for the way forward in healthcare. It gives them the chance to have an input in the care and services we provide.

 QUESTION 2 What does "good" look like in terms of working together with the people we care for? #WeNurses https://t.co/OEHIPhTncO
@mikeythenurse
05 December 2019 20:15
 @AgencyNurse @WeNurses Which is why many posts that go viral from health professionals, like that recent video where a health pro was claiming to know when patients are 'faking'. Those types of social media presences are very harmful. #WeNurses
@AgencyNurse
05 December 2019 20:15
 Yes it is somewhat chicken and egg #WeNurses https://twitter.com/CharlotteNHSRN/status/1202682718477312000

05 December 2019 20:15

 @WeNurses In teaching it looks like this for us. Bottom line us recognising that #patients are experts in their own care. As clinicians we support this and only take the lead when we have to. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLPtuApYs79-40V_3p30e4VIpPyh1keYQE #wenurses

 @WeNurses Hi everyone, my only experience is connections on social media. It has been a big eye opener to see the contribution that those with more patient or parent experience make to healthcare, even at national level #WeNurses
@mikeythenurse
05 December 2019 20:16
 @TurnerNurse @WeNurses Those gaps between physical and mental health pathways often feel insurmountable, and always very separated. That's definitely an area that needs more focus and work. #WeNurses
@AgencyNurse
05 December 2019 20:17
 @mikeythenurse @WeNurses yes posts like that are disrespectful and really don't do anyone any good at all #WeNurses

 @sammyjb75 @AgencyNurse @WeNurses To me that non-hierarchical aspect is absolutely key to this whole discussion. If it's not grasped than working together isn't happening. #WeNurses

05 December 2019 20:25
 @WeNurses I know it's been mentioned before, but letting patients write in their own charts/notes about their experiences, needs, what's working etc should be a no-brainer way to achieve good working together. #WeNurses

 @WeNurses To be honest I think understaffing and underfunding are major barriers. Stressed work-forces mean little spare time and energy. Even though it takes just a tiny bit longer it's often out of reach for someone near breaking point already #WeNurses

05 December 2019 20:27
 @WeNurses I think this is something of a wicked problem in some services. In substance use, for example, being flexible in the way people need often leads to rapid staff burnout. But being less flexible leads to reduced engagement at a time when people are at significant risk. #WeNurses
@CharlotteNHSRN
05 December 2019 20:27
 @WeNurses I don’t think we can say FEEDBACK enough honestly. Patients and relatives often seem surprised when I encourage them to report things they weren’t happy about or provided less than perfect feedback- that’s how we can develop our services. #wenurses
@WeNurses

 @WeNurses Use the tools and gifts we have - our eyes and ears. Look and listen - sometimes the most common complaints are communication related - something we all can improve on. Just listen, absorb the info and respond appropriately. Will work both ways for patients & staff #WeNurses

@mikeythenurse
05 December 2019 20:29
 @receivingconsnt @MedicineGovSte @WeNurses It's difficult, because we mostly see people in OUR spaces. This is MY office, I have the comfiest chair in the room. Or it's our ward, we know all the ins and outs, and routines. Space alone disempowers, and we need to actively counter that. #WeNurses
@LeanneHPatrick
05 December 2019 20:29
 @WeNurses For the most part, however, service design is key. But getting that right depends upon prioritising feedback so that services are designed around what people actually say works or doesn't work. #WeNurses
@RhiannaPunc19
05 December 2019 20:29
 @WeNurses Listen to the patients wants and needs. If you don’t know much about their condition, revise it and attend PPG groups to gain a better understanding. #WeNurses
@CharlotteNHSRN
05 December 2019 20:30
 Agreed- you wouldn’t want a robot to nurses you! You want a human, who feels empathy and emotions to support you through some of life’s hardest events. Please we need to support each other- when we say this is hard, others nurses feel less isolated! #wenurses https://twitter.com/meloncarrier/status/1202685844802457618
@mikeythenurse
05 December 2019 20:30
 @receivingconsnt @MedicineGovSte @WeNurses So perhaps it's not that the power is ours to give, but the disempowering aspects of the setting and relationship are our responsibility to minimise and counter? #WeNurses

 @WeNurses It’s very complex. Even things which appear at face value to be “good examples” can be misleading as they’re often fulfilling a tick-box criteria. It’s has to be predicated on the human and genuinely meaningful to have value. #WeNurses

 @WeNurses Every initial appointment I have with a new person I highlight the fact that the best way for us to get better as a service and as health pros is through feedback from those accessing our services, complaints, concerns, compliments are all equally important. #WeNurses

 QUESTION 4 Following on from Question 3 ....Once a solution is worked out how do we support both patients and nurses to change policy? #WeNurses https://t.co/vCWsI3eHGM
@jomwlever
05 December 2019 20:35
 @WeNurses Q3. I think there needs to be space & time. Maybe there is scope for improving documentation templates to allow for any queries or concerns to be recorded in a specific section so it's easier to be responded to swiftly and followed up. Speaking and Listening #WeNurses

 @theresahorne748 @CharlotteNHSRN @WeNurses Wouldn’t this then come down too the individual potentially needing more support - the word ‘vent’ doesn’t sit well with me & would hope it doesn’t get too the ‘venting me stage to either raise concerns or ‘speak out’. #WeNurses

 Not health related but education related ... recently have had to raise some very serious concerns to our school ... what bothers me the most is the unwillingness to change, to listen and to work with us a parents ... really made me reflect on what happens in healthcare #WeNurses

 @WeNurses So, I fortunately sit on my organisations joint staff side. What I have noted during my time engaging and shaping policy. Is that not enough nurses even know this is something they can do, and absolutely could be instrumental in! #wenurses

 @mikeythenurse @LeanneHPatrick @WeNurses 2. sense. It makes me wonder about the type of descriptors which are appropriate when working with people and supporting health promotion (< which is more of what we should be doing). #WeNurses
@TurnerNurse
05 December 2019 20:38
 @WeNurses Are the nursing job descriptions that we have too generic then? Should job descriptions celebrate the member of staff that's good with data, and the one that's a good planner, or the one that listens to their colleague with they're low? #WeNurses

05 December 2019 20:38
 when faced with an immovable and unfamiliar system you can feel powerless and lost ... and you can be at odds with the custodians of that system ... however what baffles me the most is that by working together so much could be achieved to reach the common goal you have #WeNurses
@Lerounxi
05 December 2019 20:39
 @WeNurses Explore the solution, test it out for a period of time. Is it working? Does it need to be tweaked? By doing this gather the evidence to support the need for change in the policy. Then present finding people able to change the policy. Hopefully improve patients outcomes! #WeNurses

 @WeNurses I think the first thing to understand is that policy is enacted on the front-lines. It's up to us how those policies are actually applied, and that allows power sharing even when a policy is designed in a specifically one-sided way. #WeNurses

 @WeNurses It’s all about co-production and designing/re-designing services to be more responsive to the people that use them. There’s literature details modelling etc... it’s there for the implementing. #WeNurses
@sammyjb75
05 December 2019 20:40
 @LeanneHPatrick @WeNurses This is where I find politics and successive government changes mess things right up - the mandatory white papers, the questionable investment of money in new shiny projects and sometimes unnecessary change ( & not always for the better) over the years is staggering #wenurses

@mikeythenurse
05 December 2019 20:41
 @WeNurses But also, often policy is put in place by roles without clinical contact, and that makes creating patient-centred policy creation and influencing very difficult, even when nurses and patients combine together to influence policy #WeNurses
@Lerounxi
05 December 2019 20:41
 @WeNurses I mean if you provide evidence of where you prove a need for change it would be difficult to battle against a ‘no’ answer... after all you don’t want to hear the dreaded “we’ve always done it this way” saying. Be open to new ideas/change #WeNurses

 @WeNurses I’m not sure about other fields, but in #LearningDisabilityNursing #SoMe is a valuable tool to connect with advocacy and self-advocates, and find out what matters to people. We shouldn’t be far removed from the people we support. #WeNurses
@mikeythenurse

 @WeNurses Social media is very important on a macro level I think. It allows for the equalisation of voices in a way that isn't achievable often in a policy or MDT meeting. #WeNurses

 @WeNurses For me #SoMe has shown how to break through the inappropriate hierarchical world of health care. It clearly shows that inter-disciplinary working is vital. Patients are leading the way. They are the real experts here. #TeamPatient #wenurses https://t.co/6ABjCTpOhd

 Note to self to use the word ‘feedback’ instead of complaint—some staff may put the walls up when hearing the word ‘complain’ which means they’re on defensive mode, instead of having an objective view to turn it into a learning experience. #WeNurses https://twitter.com/charlottenhsrn/status/1202686070019805191
