Why Is It Important?
Nursing documentation is the cornerstone of best practice. It serves many diverse, complex and important functions from ensuring consistency of clinical care and good communication between practitioners, to providing evidence in a court of law that patients have received appropriate, high-quality, evidence-based care… or, indeed, that they have not. The phrase ‘if it is not documented, it was not done’ should be the guiding principle used when documenting care in order to ensure that a clear picture of a patient’s care history can be gained.

Why Is Multiple Sclerosis Care Important?
Multiple sclerosis is the most common cause of neurological disability in young adults. It is a disease of the brain and spinal cord, and a lifelong condition that usually follows a relapsing or progressive course and results in a gradual accumulation of permanent disability. MS causes a multitude of symptoms that affect physical and cognitive function as well as mood; symptoms vary between individuals and for the same individual. Although disease-modifying drugs (DMDs), which can change the disease course, are available for people with active relapsing disease, there is no cure. MS affects every aspect of people’s lives – work, family, social life –and is characterised by unpredictability and variability. This means a holistic approach to care is required to meet the needs of people living with the condition.

Our Stoma Care Training course allows learners to gain theoretical and practical stoma care knowledge.
Overview
Our stoma care training course is intended to cover all aspects of safe principles of stoma care including practical application within a classroom environment.

Why Is It Important?
The prevalence of stomas in the UK is significant, one in 335 people in the UK are currently living with a stoma (Colostomy UK, 2023). It is crucial to recognise that people of all age groups can have a stoma, emphasising the widespread impact and relevance of stoma care training.
While specialist stoma nurses typically provide specialised care for stoma patients, it is essential to acknowledge that these individuals may also receive care within clinical settings, where non-specialist healthcare professionals may be responsible for their well-being. Consequently, it becomes imperative for these healthcare professionals to possess a fundamental understanding of stoma management to effectively address the stoma-related health issues that patients may encounter.
In both routine stoma care and situations where complications arise, non-specialist healthcare professionals should be equipped with the necessary knowledge to recognise when it is appropriate to seek assistance from a stoma care nurse. By understanding the basics of stoma management, these professionals can ensure that patients receive the appropriate care and support, ultimately contributing to enhanced patient outcomes and quality of life.

Stoma Care Training Session Outline

Why Is It Important?
Central Venous Access Devices provide necessary access for the administration of infusion therapy in acute care and home care settings.
Although great strides have been made to reduce bloodstream infections during placement of these devices, the risk of complications associated with post insertion care and usage has remained apparent.

Infections related to vascular access devices may be caused by ineffective or improper care and maintenance of these devices. This course promotes best practice and aims to reduce CVAD complications.

Management of Central Venous Access Devices for Registered Practitioners

Pressure Area Care Training is facilitated by Registered Clinicians with extensive experience
Overview
Facilitated by registered nurses with first hand clinical experience, this ½ day blended learning course allows attendees to gain theoretical and practical pressure area care knowledge.
This training course is intended to cover all aspects of pressure area care including practical application within a classroom or virtual environment.
Why Is It Important?
The 2009 Parkside Nursing Home tragedy marked a turning point in raising awareness for pressure area care training. 5 residents within their care died between July 22nd and August 6th as a direct response from pressure ulcers developed during their admission. 
Since 2009 various initiatives have been introduced, however incidents of pressure ulcers remain at a disappointingly high level. Each year in the NHS in England, just under a quarter of a million patients develop a new pressure ulcer with, on average, 2000 newly acquired pressure ulcers developing each month (Public Health England, 2015). 
Pressure ulcers are the result of tissue damage caused by diminishing blood supply to the skin, usually because the area has been placed under pressure (NPUAP/EPUAP/PPPIA, 2014). It is felt 95% of all pressure sores are avoidable.

Pressure Area Care Training Session Outline
Anatomy and physiology
Risk assessment, skin assessment and care
Repositioning and early mobilisation
Grading and treatment of pressure ulcers – including React to Red
Aimed At
All healthcare workers across all settings with existing pressure area care knowledge wanting to enhance their current understanding. Alternatively, those new to healthcare looking to acquire new skills and practice effectively.
Facilitated By
Registered nurse with first hand clinical experience.

Having an up to date Will in place goes some way to provide for your disabled child, however in some cases it has the potential to create further problems. If you or a family member are considering leaving money directly to a disabled person, you are likely to impact their entitlement to means tested benefits and social support and may also leave them at risk of financial abuse. As an alternative to this, you may ask a sibling or close family member to ‘look after’ an inheritance on their behalf, but this also carries significant risk if that person is later faced with divorce or bankruptcy. 

On 5th June 2024, leading expert Philip Warford will talk about the options available to protect a disabled person using specialist Wills and Trusts. Philip will explain how to safeguard means tested benefits and how to provide financial security for your disabled loved one, as well as the rest of your family. Philip will talk through the different Trust options available, the importance of a Letter of Wishes and choosing the right Trustees.


Philip will explain:
 
Why it is important to make a Will
How you can protect a disabled person using Wills and Trusts
The choice of Executors and Trustees
The use of Letters of Wishes
Making Gifts in a Will
Why use a Trust
When should you set up a Trust
How to protect means tested benefits

Peer supervision for clinical hypnotherapists offers several benefits that contribute to their professional growth and development. Here are some key advantages:

Enhanced Reflective Practice: Peer supervision provides an opportunity for hypnotherapists to reflect on their own practice and gain insight into their strengths, weaknesses, and areas for improvement. Through discussions with peers, they can explore different perspectives and approaches, deepening their understanding of their therapeutic work.

Continuous Learning: Engaging in peer supervision allows hypnotherapists to expand their knowledge base by learning from the experiences and expertise of their peers. They can share innovative techniques, new research findings, and emerging trends in the field, fostering a culture of continuous learning and professional development.

Emotional Support: The nature of clinical hypnotherapy can be emotionally demanding, and hypnotherapists may encounter challenging situations or difficult clients. Peer supervision provides a safe and supportive space for therapists to share their experiences, express their concerns, and receive emotional support from others who understand the unique demands of their work.

Feedback and Validation: Peer supervision offers a valuable platform for receiving feedback and validation from fellow professionals. Colleagues can provide constructive criticism, offer fresh perspectives, and help identify blind spots or areas for improvement. This feedback helps hypnotherapists refine their skills and approaches, ultimately enhancing the quality of their clinical practice.

Ethical Guidance: Ethical considerations are crucial in the field of hypnotherapy. Peer supervision provides an opportunity for hypnotherapists to discuss ethical dilemmas they may face and seek guidance from their peers. Collaborative discussions around ethical issues help hypnotherapists maintain professional standards and navigate complex situations.

Networking and Collaboration: Engaging in peer supervision allows hypnotherapists to build a network of professional contacts. This network can lead to collaborative opportunities, referrals, and potential partnerships, enhancing their professional growth and expanding their practice.

Professional Accountability: Peer supervision establishes a sense of accountability among hypnotherapists. When therapists know they will be discussing their work with peers, they are more likely to maintain high standards and engage in self-reflection to ensure the quality of their practice.
