This five part blog series explores the key themes that&nbsp;emerged&nbsp;from that discussion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How Workforce Experience Is Changing Across the NHS and Why It Matters for Patient Safety&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the first questions we explored at our January Safe Staffing Network meeting was whether the NHS is seeing a shift towards a less experienced nursing workforce and what this might mean for patient safety.&nbsp;This is what&nbsp;over 100 safe staffing leads&nbsp;had to say.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Across organisations, the picture was nuanced.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The workforce itself is not necessarily less capable. New roles, diverse training&nbsp;routes&nbsp;and wider career pathways have expanded the skills available within nursing teams. However, many leaders described a workforce where experience within individual shifts has changed significantly.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In some areas, teams may now&nbsp;contain&nbsp;multiple newly qualified nurses working alongside fewer highly experienced colleagues. At the same time, the complexity of patient care has increased dramatically, with patients presenting with higher acuity and multiple&nbsp;long term&nbsp;conditions.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This combination can create a challenging environment for clinical decision making.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Where experience becomes visible during a shift<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>During the discussion, several leaders reflected on where experience tends to become most visible in&nbsp;day to day&nbsp;practice.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These included recognising subtle deterioration in patients, prioritising competing clinical demands,&nbsp;maintaining&nbsp;situational awareness within busy environments and deciding when escalation is&nbsp;required.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Clinical judgement develops over time. While protocols and guidance provide valuable support, they cannot replace experience gained through practice and mentorship.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The impact of workforce turnover<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Another theme raised across the network was the loss of experienced nurses through retirement or workforce mobility.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some organisations described a workforce profile where a&nbsp;significant number&nbsp;of experienced staff are approaching retirement, while newer staff are progressing rapidly into leadership roles. This creates an experience gap that can be difficult to fill quickly.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In response, many teams are relying on retire and return staff, bank nurses or&nbsp;additional&nbsp;supervision to provide the support newer&nbsp;qualified&nbsp;staff&nbsp;require.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Supporting clinical confidence<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The discussion reinforced the importance of visible leadership and mentorship in supporting less experienced teams.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Developing clinical judgement takes time,&nbsp;support&nbsp;and exposure to complex situations. Ensuring staff feel confident to escalate concerns, ask questions and seek support&nbsp;remains&nbsp;fundamental to&nbsp;maintaining&nbsp;safe care.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Safe staffing is not just about the number of people on shift. It is about the&nbsp;make up&nbsp;of&nbsp;experience,&nbsp;skills&nbsp;and leadership available&nbsp;to support both safe patient care and&nbsp;a clinical workforce who are confident and empowered to make critical care and safety decisions&nbsp;on a daily basis.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:var(--wp--preset--spacing--60)\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Authors<\/strong><\/h6>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:var(--wp--preset--spacing--40)\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-nowrap is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-ad2f72ca wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-content-justification-left is-nowrap is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-f56a869c wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\" style=\"margin: 0 !important\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rldatix.com\/en-uki\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2024\/09\/Karen-Swinson-e1777071141162.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9831\" style=\"object-fit:cover;width:80px;height:80px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong>Karen Swinson<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\">Clinical Lead and Lead of\u00a0RLDatix\u2019s\u00a0Safe Staffing Network<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Reality of Safe Staffing&nbsp; Insights from the RLDatix Safe Staffing Network Across the NHS,&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":9909,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[50],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-10364","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-blog","primary-category-blog"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>How Workforce Experience Is Changing Across the NHS and Why It Matters for Patient Safety\u00a0 | RLDatix<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Health &amp; care resources from RLDatix: How Workforce Experience Is Changing Across the NHS and Why It Matters for Patient Safety\u00a0.
