Edge Talk: 'Out of our boxes. Patients as agents of change' by Alison Cameron...NHS Improving Quality
Overview by Alison:
Over the 17 years since my diagnosis with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, I have slowly moved along a continuum reclaiming power in respect of my own health. I then chose to go further and use insight gained along the way to push for change in the wider system. My talk will focus on how I was able to make the transition from passive patient to patient leader.
Patient leadership requires a share in power between patient and professional and an acknowledgement that we are more than a “voice”, more than our “patient story”, but also a source of skills and expertise which can be used to effect transformational change.
I believe passionately in genuine co-production – in bringing together patients and professionals in equal partnership, questioning assumptions on all sides and challenging our notion of hierarchy. This has its challenges for all concerned. We are all – to some extent – in boxes labelled by our job title or our diagnosis. These boxes can be defensive bunkers offering an illusion of protection from fear of change in an already chaotic, uncertain climate.
My talk will discuss these challenges and offer solutions as to how we might address them together.
Hopefully my session will help participants find the courage to emerge from boxes labelled “patient” or “professional”, and risk venturing into the territory where both sides are prepared to walk in the shoes of the other and boundaries are blurred. We have the potential then to create something truly transformational.

Re:Topic 3 DQ 1
LinkedIn is a business-oriented social networking system service. The purpose of this social media service is to build your professional identity, stay in contact with past classmates and colleagues, discover professional opportunities, business deals, and new ventures (LinkedIn, 2016). In addition, you can get the latest news, inspiration, and insights on your personal career. In the last few years, this social media avenue has become familiar for employees and employers to connect with others. In addition, it has been used to relay messages about careers, personal information, highlights, negatives, and important news of people or groups, such as nurses. In saying that, LinkedIn has the power of helping or hurting your reputation as a nurse. People in groups can comment and discuss your performance and if it is negative, such as being put on suspension for coming to work under the influence, your future will be in jeopardy, due to exposure of this information.
The media can negatively influence the public’s perspective of nursing by what is exposes. For example, many people have heard of the show Grey’s Anatomy. On this show, there is a cast of good looking nurses and doctors, that have romantic relationships with one another, and even perform sexual acts in the hospital setting. It is full of drama and non-realistic expectations and scenarios nurses face. So, when many people around the world gather to watch this show, they assume that this drama is what nursing entails. On the contrary, there are guidelines to dating and especially, performing sexual acts on the job at the job location. Another example, would be how nurses are still viewed as sexy icons. During Halloween, there are multiple sexy costumes of nurses that portray nursing idealizations of the past. Nursing has come so far, yet, there are some who will visualize the ‘sexiness’ of nursing due to the images they have been exposed to. A last example, of how media can affect nursing reputation poorly, is the news media. People all over the world turn on the television to stay informed on what is happening around the world. Recently, there has been the subject if the Zika Virus. Many news stations and radio stations have discussed the disease, ways to minimize acquiring the virus and so on. I listened to a radio station that was talking about mothers moving away from Miami, in fear of becoming pregnant or being pregnant and giving birth to a child with defects, due to the disease. All the show did was scare me and make me want to flee Miami! At the end of the day media affects society and their perspectives.
Other than social media, there are medical and nursing journals that educate people on nursing, such as the American Nursing Journal. In addition, there are newspapers and newsletters, that can be found in the community or hospitals to highlight achievements or stories that have positive.

Antibiotic Stewardship by Anushri Srivastava.pptxAnushriSrivastav
Stewardship is the act of taking good care of something.
Antimicrobial stewardship is a coordinated program that promotes the appropriate use of antimicrobials (including antibiotics), improves patient outcomes, reduces microbial resistance, and decreases the spread of infections caused by multidrug-resistant organisms.
WHO launched the Global Antimicrobial Resistance and Use Surveillance System (GLASS) in 2015 to fill knowledge gaps and inform strategies at all levels.
ACCORDING TO apic.org,
Antimicrobial stewardship is a coordinated program that promotes the appropriate use of antimicrobials (including antibiotics), improves patient outcomes, reduces microbial resistance, and decreases the spread of infections caused by multidrug-resistant organisms.
ACCORDING TO pewtrusts.org,
Antibiotic stewardship refers to efforts in doctors’ offices, hospitals, long term care facilities, and other health care settings to ensure that antibiotics are used only when necessary and appropriate
According to WHO,
Antimicrobial stewardship is a systematic approach to educate and support health care professionals to follow evidence-based guidelines for prescribing and administering antimicrobials
In 1996, John McGowan and Dale Gerding first applied the term antimicrobial stewardship, where they suggested a causal association between antimicrobial agent use and resistance. They also focused on the urgency of large-scale controlled trials of antimicrobial-use regulation employing sophisticated epidemiologic methods, molecular typing, and precise resistance mechanism analysis.
Antimicrobial Stewardship(AMS) refers to the optimal selection, dosing, and duration of antimicrobial treatment resulting in the best clinical outcome with minimal side effects to the patients and minimal impact on subsequent resistance.
According to the 2019 report, in the US, more than 2.8 million antibiotic-resistant infections occur each year, and more than 35000 people die. In addition to this, it also mentioned that 223,900 cases of Clostridoides difficile occurred in 2017, of which 12800 people died. The report did not include viruses or parasites
VISION
Being proactive
Supporting optimal animal and human health
Exploring ways to reduce overall use of antimicrobials
Using the drugs that prevent and treat disease by killing microscopic organisms in a responsible way
GOAL
to prevent the generation and spread of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Doing so will preserve the effectiveness of these drugs in animals and humans for years to come.
being to preserve human and animal health and the effectiveness of antimicrobial medications.
to implement a multidisciplinary approach in assembling a stewardship team to include an infectious disease physician, a clinical pharmacist with infectious diseases training, infection preventionist, and a close collaboration with the staff in the clinical microbiology laboratory

Medical Technology Tackles New Health Care Demand - Research Report - March 2...pchutichetpong
M Capital Group (“MCG”) predicts that with, against, despite, and even without the global pandemic, the medical technology (MedTech) industry shows signs of continuous healthy growth, driven by smaller, faster, and cheaper devices, growing demand for home-based applications, technological innovation, strategic acquisitions, investments, and SPAC listings. MCG predicts that this should reflects itself in annual growth of over 6%, well beyond 2028.
According to Chris Mouchabhani, Managing Partner at M Capital Group, “Despite all economic scenarios that one may consider, beyond overall economic shocks, medical technology should remain one of the most promising and robust sectors over the short to medium term and well beyond 2028.”
There is a movement towards home-based care for the elderly, next generation scanning and MRI devices, wearable technology, artificial intelligence incorporation, and online connectivity. Experts also see a focus on predictive, preventive, personalized, participatory, and precision medicine, with rising levels of integration of home care and technological innovation.
The average cost of treatment has been rising across the board, creating additional financial burdens to governments, healthcare providers and insurance companies. According to MCG, cost-per-inpatient-stay in the United States alone rose on average annually by over 13% between 2014 to 2021, leading MedTech to focus research efforts on optimized medical equipment at lower price points, whilst emphasizing portability and ease of use. Namely, 46% of the 1,008 medical technology companies in the 2021 MedTech Innovator (“MTI”) database are focusing on prevention, wellness, detection, or diagnosis, signaling a clear push for preventive care to also tackle costs.
In addition, there has also been a lasting impact on consumer and medical demand for home care, supported by the pandemic. Lockdowns, closure of care facilities, and healthcare systems subjected to capacity pressure, accelerated demand away from traditional inpatient care. Now, outpatient care solutions are driving industry production, with nearly 70% of recent diagnostics start-up companies producing products in areas such as ambulatory clinics, at-home care, and self-administered diagnostics.

#NursingNowEngland #WeLDNs
We’re celebrating the amazing work in learning disability nursing today, and developing
work that we will pull together in one space under the Nursing Now England banner.
We need to look at how we recruit more people in to LD nursing, and how we make sure
LD nursing has the profile it deserves. We need to make sure people with LD are not
marginalised: that they are equal partners in shaping their care when they need it.
How many people know there is a branch of nursing for learning disabilities? We need to
ignite the passion in current workforce; to inspire young people to choose a career in
nursing.
We have to change the messages about nursing in the media.
We need to think about how we influence policy makers and the politicians to think
differently about nursing. We need nursing to be on the table from the beginning – on the
front foot. The challenge is often that ‘nurses don’t understand how to make policy’ – and
we need to show that’s not true
We need everyone’s help to shape the narrative.
There is so much work that has already been done - we need to think about why it isn’t
getting the traction that it needs - and how do we get a stronger voice?
The background: Professor Jane Cummings launched Transforming Perceptions of Nursing and Midwifery in March 2018 –
engaging people through social media, and workshops. It’s now Nursing Now England (launched December 2018) and Transforming
Perceptions of Midwifery (launched January 2019). It’s predicted that by 2030 there will be a shortage of 9 million nurses globally.
Other workstreams include men in nursing; BME, addressing racism in the NHS; and mental health nursing. We’re all part of
#teamCNO!
4. In the room are people who aren’t
learning disabilities nurses - these
are critical friends, and who are
there to help you – embrace them!
Helen Bevan set the context for the day
It’s a day of deep thinking, and helping
people realise how brilliant learning
disabilities nursing is.
5. Ethos for the day
This is not your usual conference or
workshop, it is a specially designed
process which enables a depth and
quality of output that would usually be
unachievable in such a short
timeframe...we’ll do three months’ worth
of work today.
6.
7. #NursingNowEngland #WeLDNs
On your table, each person should tell their learning disability nursing story to others through the three cards
8. There is growing awareness of the role of learning disabilities
nurses, thanks in large part to the advocacy work of parents.
The opportunities outweigh the challenges.
We need to network more. This gives us strength and
encouragement – unity.
17. • There is a lack of understanding of the role
of LD nurses and of people with a LD
• “No evolution without revolution!”
• LD nurses are disabled by association,
invisible. There is a fear of the role and of
the patients.
• Offer the hand of collaboration.
• LD nurses are seen as not clever enough –
by association
• We are evolving – the revolution isn’t
happening.
• Midwives have been practitioners in their
own right for ages.
• Used to be regulated by Royal College of
Psychiatrists
• Lack of LD leadership in corridors of power
• If not now, when? We want to be more, not
have more.
Helen Laverty and Alice
Waddington reflected on
the Five Whys
32. We didn’t want to reinvent the wheel – it’s about connecting people
and joining up the dots. We’ve drawn up an action plan that will feed
in to what’s done today. We’re also sharing this card.
We need to change the narrative of learning disabilities. “If you build
it they will come” – like the field of dreams.
We know what brought us to learning disabilities nursing, we know
what keeps us in learning disabilities nursing, - we need to attract
others – we need to build that field of dreams.
Closing words
from
Helen Laverty
33. #NursingNowEngland #WeLDNs
LD nursing is unique and special.
People say they haven’t got the power –
but they do!
We need to think how we get our
thinking to 25%
Find your superconnectors! The most
influential are usually not senior people.
You have so much potential!
Now is the time to take the power.
34. Closing remarks from Paul Vaughan
There are lots of ways to get involved: become a nurse ambassador; take part in
the monthly challenges.
There are no nurse leaders with huge followers on social media – it’s always
doctors! We need to change this.
2019 marks 100 years of LD nursing – we need to think about how we link up
with that.
2020 is the year of the nurse. We need to ensure LD nursing has a big voice as
part of that.
We can help support you to get the messages out!
We will make it happen together.
