@cjsscen#sltsinmh looking for slts interested in having a conversation about trauma informed care in slt - anyone fancy a chat? Thinking about what is out there, what we need etc @AmyHird5@georginajudd
@HeidiHKeeling@SianTrainor I am slowly getting through all the assessments of the female patients on my low secure ward and can fully confirm findings such as these. It was the same when I worked at the National High Secure Service for Women at Rampton. Often undetected for a long time.
In the 52 years since the #StonewallRiots we’ve witnessed unbelievable progress. Hear from those who’ve seen the transformation of LGBTQ+ rights in their lifetime and find out how you can be part of the next steps at our #ProuderTogether online celebration.eventbrite.co.uk/e/prouder-toge…
Does anyone have any ideas of some great team away day activities? Thinking team building, developing trust, reducing stress etc within a stressed and burnt out team. Thanks in advance 😁
Though June is a time for our community to celebrate, it’s important to recognise that pride and identity are part of us all year round. What are ways in your daily life and work that you showcase your pride and bring your whole selves? We’d love to know! 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️
@jobrackley My job is slightly weird. SLT by trade but clinically leading a secure inpatient female ward! Daunting but amazing post. Get lots of sway over decisions and aiming to put communication at the heart of everything 💪
@jobrackley@NHSEngland Fingers crossed! Would be curious to know, especially as there is so few NHS secure MH services for women in comparison to men. Which really goes against the national women’s strategy in reducing women in prison 🤷🏻♀️
1. SLT colleagues in secure services- having a discussion at a meeting today about the complexities and differences within Women’s Secure MH Services in comparison to men’s wards. Is there any sort of recognition the ward can get which singles it out as a specialist service?
@jobrackley It’s frustrating. Our ward requires so many staff and the other wards (male) can get resentful. We also have intense compassion burnout in women’s services + it’s not a suitable ward for preceptor nurses (had two leave v quickly). We need extra funding to ensure retention!
4. I’m thinking similar to how an LD ward would be recognised as specialist and be awarded extra funding/recognition. Or am I incorrect in thinking this?? Does anyone have any ideas/thoughts? 😁
3. Whereas they should be recognised as highly specialist wards in their own right and therefore deserve recognition and the extra funding that comes with that to ensure we not only have enough staff, but enough specialist and highly trained staff.
