Paul Jebb outlines his career progression in nursing, including international experience that taught him the value of collaboration. He describes leadership programs to develop nurses' strategic skills and influence. These programs aim to increase the number of nurses ready for senior roles and develop leadership at all levels of the workforce.
Digital technology has transformed healthcare and enabled new ways of delivering care. Nurses now have access to patient records and test results on mobile devices, allowing them to spend more time with patients. However, this transition requires training staff on new systems and addressing privacy concerns to ensure technology improves care and outcomes for patients.
Implementation fo the new Future StandardsNHS England
The document discusses the implementation of new Future Nurse Standards in the United Kingdom. It provides summaries from several presenters at a session on the new standards:
1) Andrea Sutcliffe from the Nursing and Midwifery Council discussed the development of the new standards to define the knowledge and skills needed for nurses. She emphasized that the standards raise ambitions for nursing and focus on person-centered care.
2) Professor Dame Jill Macleod Clark discussed both opportunities and challenges of implementing the standards. She stressed the need to transform clinical placements and support current nurses.
3) Professor Margaret Rowe and Dr. Elaine Inglesby Burke discussed their work developing the new curriculum in collaboration with practice partners
The document discusses the new standards for registered nurses in the UK called the Future Nurse standards. It notes several societal changes that will increase demand for expert nursing care and leadership. The new standards are intended to equip registered nurses to meet these changing needs by demonstrating advanced skills and clinical leadership. Implementing the standards provides an opportunity to recalibrate and promote the nursing profession. However, it also presents challenges in ensuring current nurses are supported to meet the new standards through development and resources. Strong nursing leadership is needed to leverage the case for obtaining necessary workforce investments and infrastructure to support both current and future nurses.
Workforce Race and Equality in Nursing and MidwiferyNHS England

The document outlines a model to improve BME representation across all levels by 2028 through leadership commitment, positive action, accountability, and monitoring progress. It discusses priorities from the NHS Long Term Plan and Workforce Race Equality Standard to close gaps and ensure middle management engagement. The presenter asks audience questions about implementing improvement plans.
Topic 11 Research methods - How do you carry out psychological research?NHS England
This document provides information about how to conduct psychological research, including defining key terms and concepts. It discusses:
- Independent and dependent variables - the variable manipulated by the researcher (independent) and the outcome measured (dependent).
- Extraneous variables that could interfere with the study if not controlled, such as situational factors or participant characteristics. Ways to control these include standardizing procedures, counterbalancing, and random assignment.
- Hypotheses for a study, including the null hypothesis which predicts no effect or relationship between variables, versus the alternative hypothesis which predicts an effect or relationship.
Topic 4 The brain and neuropsychology - how does your brain affect you?NHS England
The document provides information about the structure and function of the brain and how neurological damage can impact cognition and behavior. It discusses how the brain is divided into two hemispheres with specialized functions. Damage to different areas of the brain, such as the parietal lobe, occipital lobe, or prefrontal cortex, can cause distinct problems depending on the location. The central nervous system allows communication between the brain and body through neurons, synapses, and neurotransmitters. Neurological damage disrupts these normal processes and signaling in the brain.

Challenges for Nursing and Midwifery leadership
• Patients will be empowered more, and have access to their information
– the new norm
• Pace of change will increase – implications for practice
• Next generation of nurses, will be more “tech savvy” than their leaders
• Directors of Nursing will need to have digital and transformational
wherewithal to lead the nursing and midwifery contribution
• Leaders will need to be supported by nurse experts in informatics and
technological sciences – research and OD
• Models of care will change as information and accessibility converge
