#WeNurses - Tuesday 26th July 2022 8pm (GMT Standard Time) Nurses Recognising & Celebrating HCSWs Value to Care

If you haven't joined in a tweet chat before it's very simple.    Here's a guide





 Chat Details

f  

Hosted by WeNurses using #WeNurses

This is the 4th, and final for now, of 4 chats we are running throughout July focusing on our relationship and capacity to help support the needs of HCSW, to learn more about this series of chats please visit the introductory blog here.

These chats are very welcome to be contributed to by nurses and HCSWs with all levels of experience, and educators of both too, we hope you'll all join in to deliver a rounded and interesting discussion. 

For the purpose of clarity, the Healthcare Support Worker Programme, sets out that healthcare support worker is an "umbrella term that covers a variety of health and care support roles, including healthcare assistant (HCA), nursing assistant, theatre support worker, maternity support worker and more.
                                                                                                                                     

This tweetchat information: 

What do we know about Recognising & Celebrating HCSWs value to care?

Understandably, as a community of tweeting nurses, we are likely familiar with the variety of national, high-glitz, nursing awards that are primarily hosted by journals and we may even have been lucky enough to have visited some of the ceremonies held, quite often, in large posh venues with amazing food and quite likely a celebrity host too. But are you aware of anything similar for HCSWs?

How many HCSWs have come into work beaming and told you about the award or accolade for the work that they recently received?

How many times have you been made aware of local HCSW awards and celebrations and you've put an HCSW forward for it?

We know the value to any member of staff is key to the experience of any job and we all know too well how important it is for all of us providing care.

We know that visibly valuing our work as nurses, sharing our skills, efforts and achievements are crucial to both the perception of nursing and nurse recruitment and retention too. 

But do we know our role as nurses in recognising the celebrating the work our HCSWs do alongside us every day?

In this chat, we'll explore how nurses to can be impactful in creating and supporting the recognition and celebration of our awesome HCSWs via the following questions:


     - How does your organisation recognise and celebrate the value that HCSWs bring to care and how are nurses engaged in it?

     -  Why is it important for nurses to be part of efforts to recognise and celebrate the value that HCSWs bring to care?
     -  What aspects of the contributions to care made by HCSWs do you feel are the most important for nurses - and others - to recognise and celebrate?
     -  What impact can nurses have on the experience of being a HCSW by recognising and celebrating the contributions of HCSWs that support them?
     -  What can we learn from the way nurses are recognised and valued nationally to help celebrate the contributions of HCSWs?
     -  How will you do more to support and celebrate your HCSWs tomorrow and beyond when you are on duty?

@WeNurses Nurses should recognise the values of HCSW because: 1. They massively increase patient involvement when nurses are busy 2. They support nurses to time manage efficiently and safely 3. They bring smiles, compassion (to patients need staff!) and skills to the ward ?? #WeNurses

@WeNurses Our ward has a monthly recognition award voted for by any staff on the ward (including students and agency staff) often a HCSW will win, or be recognised as having a high (but not highest) number of votes. We also have HCSW learning pathways #WeNurses

@WeNurses I would say it's often the 'hidden' tasks that allow nurses and other professionals to get on with their jobs. Things like supporting dementia patients, personal cares, supporting patients who need assistance to eat etc. A smooth running ward usually has very good HCSW #WeNurses

@WeNurses The nurse and HCSW work as a team to ensure the patients needs are met with better service. HCSW can build better therapeutic relationships with young patients due to less fear of clinical interventions. They bring a lot of fun and smiles to the little ones too ?? #WeNurses

@WeNurses Because so much of what they do is “hidden” that recognition means that a nurse has “seen” the contributions a CSW has made - feeling appreciated makes a world of difference #WeNurses
@Kate03859774
26 July 2022 20:30
@WeNurses Just basic respect and a simple 'thank you' goes a long way. When I was a HCA and at the end of a long, stressful shift, I always got a lift and felt appreciated when a staff nurse recognised my hard work and thanked me #WeNurses
@thepaedsnurse
26 July 2022 20:31
@WeNurses Absolutely. Considering the majority of IVs are always due at mealtimes too (????), there’s absolutely no chance I could find time to serve meals to my patients. It isn’t nice to admit, but it’s true. Our patients need our HCSW, they are as vital as the nurses. #WeNurses

@WeNurses Exactly that I think. Appreciating, recognising and celebrating HCSWs as equal members of the team. Now more than ever we need to recognise the importance of the whole team and how vital each persons role is. #WeNurses
@Kate03859774
26 July 2022 20:32
@WeNurses It also makes HCSW retention and development more likely. In my trust there are always the same wards putting shifts out to bank because they have a negative culture and no-one wants to work there #WeNurses

@WeNurses Recognise their hard work. Tell them clearly how they have supported you - so they know you’re being genuine. Find new ways every day to bring the whole team closer together. Start planning HCSW day so they feel like royalty ???? #WeNurses

@WeNurses On a side note, #WeNurses, I feel I practice gratitude as much as possible. But this is almost never when the nurse and HCSW are running around job after job. And this is only becoming more frequent. I barely see them to thank them. ?? It always seems to be in a text after shift.

@WeNurses There aren't HCSW's in my team but I'm lucky to work closely with them in other OPS teams. So I'll keep checking in with them, thanking them when they help me out, be there if they need to talk and if there are things I can do to help ease the load I will ?? #wenurses
