Guest guest Posted March 6, 2002 Report Share Posted March 6, 2002 I would agree. I find that many nurses still do not recognise that there are other agencies out there doing work with young people. School Nurses do (or should not) not work only within schools anymore. More and more work is being done out of school and hopefully there will be more recognition of the need for all year round school nurse work as highlighted by the Climbie enquiry. Some interesting activities I have been involved in of recent times include: -multiagency mental health training in secondary schools -SNs, Camhs, Youth Workers, Health promotion and GPs. It was wonderful watching the young people and Gps undertaking a dialogue in small groups and then the whole year confronting the Gps with questions at the end. (They are two very good GPs). This grew out of me going to meetings etc and commenting on SN concerns about a school's needs. The PCG mental health lead took this on board and stared the ball rolling. It is continuing now led by SNs. -A multi agency parenting group is being planned- EWO, SN, Camhs, Social Services, Voluntary groups and hopefully Youth Workers. This was an idea of the EWo's who I knew and after a corridor conversation it has grown. -I teach on a multi agency drugs interventions course for those working with young people. This has been brilliant and often in my own time. However, the rewards I have received through networking, educating others about school nursing as well as learning about the other agencies have been so worthwhile. I feel I have a much broader vision ad try to pass this on to fellow health professionals. -Junior Citizen is a multi agency activity for last year primary children, organised by the police. I know many School nUrses will have been involved with this for years. However, in my Trust we had never been able to say yes for some reason until last year I had a dynamic specialist practice student who offered to do it . It went so well and now I am in the position to say yes. There is a VIP day and so I have suggested that they invite the PCT's new Chairman along!

Guest guest Posted March 6, 2002 Report Share Posted March 6, 2002 Toity Sure Start has had a big impact on the role in lots of ways. One that I think on at the moment concerns the building of an epidemiological base to work from that is created by the Hv's themselves through the demands and with the help of Sure Start. This means creating a different sort of awareness of statistics and this alters the role for the Sure Start HV and also for his/her colleagues who may not be involved in Sure Start but find it impacts on their own work in a variety of ways. So in a way it changes everyone's role. I can elaborate if you need me to. >From: Toity Deave <toity.deave@...> >Reply- > >CC: >Subject: Re: advice >Date: Wed, 6 Mar 2002 11:36:10 -0800 (Pacific Standard Time) > > Cowley, Hean, and myself are interested in >gaining an overview of health visiting (and hopefully >school nursing) roles.

Guest guest Posted March 7, 2002 Report Share Posted March 7, 2002 Over 20 years ago I read an editorial in the International Journal of EPidemiology that real health improvements could only be achieved if we moved away from disease focused epidemiology to person focused epidemiology. Sadly I have not since been able to find that editorial since . However, I believe that the disease focused education and training of doctors is still dominating health visiting work and that this " breakthrough " in epidemiological thinking called for 2 decades ago in that editorial is still very much needed so yes please do tell us more about what is happening on the epidemiological front of Sure Start.

Guest guest Posted March 7, 2002 Report Share Posted March 7, 2002 Toity Have you considered the need for school nurses to play a role in partnership with teachers in curriculum development and also the possibility of school nurses developing good links with other agencies around the school who are also developing health promotion activities and services. ?

Guest guest Posted March 7, 2002 Report Share Posted March 7, 2002 Hi Toity In Warwickshire we are currently reviewing health visiting activities and in order to collect baseline information have sent a questionnaire to all health visitors. At the moment we are at the data entry stage, hoping to produce the report by June. We have also asked all the health visitors to complete the public health skills toolkit from the Health Visiting Development Resource Pack in order to identify training needs and to commission training to meet these needs at Coventry University. We are very happy to share with you the questionnaire we devised which we based on the Review of Health Visiting and School Health Services in Wales by June and Margaret Buttigieg et al. You will see that the data collection includes: a workforce profile, caseload profile, details of fixed sessions and group activities, current core health visiting activities and what should be offered in the future, health visiting models and tools in practice, sections on skill mix activities, integrated working, multidisciplinary working and multiagency working (including identification of any barriers), support and supervision, ETD, profiling, public health activities, and finally information management ( modified from the CPHVA's Making IT happen campaign). We piloted the questionnaire before sending it out but unfortunately it appears there are flaws in one or two areas which will need to be acknowledged in the report. Hope you find it useful. Please contact us for any further information. Also we hope to be at Danbury Park .

Guest guest Posted March 7, 2002 Report Share Posted March 7, 2002 Well it is a long story but the short version is very interesting!!!! We have very stringent monitoring requirements (from the Sure Start Unit)that have to be met in terms of laying down baseline measurement data and ongoing data collection as we begin the process of looking at what we want of Sure Start in this making a difference thing in the local area. The idea being that you lay down baseline statistics demonstrating the things that the professionals know but dont count, low contact with support mechanisms (all agencies)low levels of literacy, high levels of smoking particularly in pregnancy, undetected PND. We gather this and much more now alongside the information that does exist like, school achievement (key stage information) levels of unemployment, levels of teenage pregnancy, unsupported lone parenting. A big long list. Anyway some of the data has never been collected before, doesn't exist in the way it is needed or has been collected centrally involving another ward that is not part of the Sure Start area so lots of unravelling to do on the data collection front and lots of thinking around the best ways to collect the data. Today I have been working on a sampling frame for a doorstep survey that we are planning. Anyway so far - we have collected the easy stuff that is centrally held like numbers of new births, numbers of year ones year twos etc. We have just gone live with our new systems designed to give us much more precise information. Collating how much contact Sure Start families have with the HV service and other agencies together and separately. Anyway once we get to the end of the number crunching we can get to the interesting (to me) qualitative data gathering. So here we are in a Sure Start area all learning about it (the area) together in a new numerical way that we hope will demonstrate over time that providing a massive shot in the arm in terms of resources will make a difference. Together we are building our own data base,our own evidence base to demonstrate that what we are doing makes a difference (we hope) The information doesn't get sent away anywhere it is being developed by the health visitors with the help of the Sure Start team and it is being developed in such a way that the health visitors and hopefully School nurses in time will be able to have really flexible and responsive access to our own area stats. Well thats the idea Malcolm, but for hard-pressed practitioners the learning curve is steep and the burden of extra work appears to be a lot in the short term. We look to the day when the system just flows!!! What did I say about this being the short version!!!!!!!!! Anyway I am finding it very exciting, particularly this new database that we have just set up to slot all these newly collected numbers into. Cowley will be fainting at me finding numbers exciting!!!!! >From: " M.Rigler " <M.Rigler@...> >Reply- >< > >Subject: Re: advice >Date: Thu, 7 Mar 2002 08:38:16 -0000 > > > Over 20 years ago I read an editorial in the International Journal >of EPidemiology that real health improvements could only be achieved if we >moved away from disease focused epidemiology to person focused >epidemiology. >Sadly I have not since been able to find that editorial since .

Guest guest Posted March 8, 2002 Report Share Posted March 8, 2002 Thanks for this. This just confirms my view that for Community Practice and Health Visiting to thrive we do need a lot of numbers ,carefully collected ,informed by our intuitive as well as our rational minds.

Guest guest Posted March 8, 2002 Report Share Posted March 8, 2002 Ann, thanks! I hadn't thought about NVQ competencies but I suppose that would take a lot of the hard work out of devising new competencies. Is there much skill mix out there in community nursery nursing?

Guest guest Posted March 9, 2002 Report Share Posted March 9, 2002 , if you are looking for relevant competencies, the attached 'Core Curriculum for the Training of Staff for Work With Parents' was devised by the Parenting Education and Support Forum (www.parenting-forum.org.uk); I think it is intended for NVQ level 3. I think it is impressively comprehensive, but confess that I do not know how much a qualified nursery nurse would already have covered. Best wishes Horsley wrote: > Ann, thanks!

Guest guest Posted March 12, 2002 Report Share Posted March 12, 2002 Louise, I am under a welter of work at the moment but I just wanted to say belatedly how generous of you to share your work, I can almost hear Senate members up and down the country fetching the good ideas out of it to turn into something else for their own needs or finding something in it that sets them on a problem solving track all of their own. Its funny how we share these things and never know about the knock on effects. Maybe people might share some of the domino effect of that. Reading the questionnaire reminded me to go back into the HV Resource pack 2001 for something else that I am putting together that has nothing to do with reviews so that is an unexpected outcome.

Guest guest Posted March 13, 2002 Report Share Posted March 13, 2002 , Thank you for your reply. We were very grateful for the work previously shared with us, mainly the Review of Health Visiting and School Nursing in Wales for ideas on content of the questionnaire and also the methodology. We could have kept adding to it but didn't want it to be too unwieldy (our health visitors took quite a long time over completing it). The great thing about Senate and the HV-SN Forum is the the sharing of information and ideas and the support to each other. My hard drive is full of files containing saved emails which I use as a resource as and when I need to. Invaluable!
