2020: The year of the nurse and the midwife

Pinnacle Incorporated | 27/05/2020

2020 has been designated as the year of the nurse and the midwife by the World Health Organization, and Pinnacle is very keen to support this.

Nursing Now's international plans for celebrating 2020 included a challenge for organisations to grow nursing leadership, particularly in the under 35s. Pinnacle has committed to growing nursing leaders of ANY age as part of this challenge.

A bespoke leadership has been developed and will be delivered via ZOOM over 10 consecutive weeks. The first will be Thursday 11 June 7-8pm and every Thursday thereafter, covering 10 different topics using expert resource from within Pinnacle MHN as speakers. The sessions will be informal, low key and interactive between attendees. There is no cost and commitment to all 10 sessions is desired. We are recording each session for future resource and to allow for those circumstances where nurses know they are unable to attend. It is hoped we can repeat the series in future if there is demand

This is open to ANY nurse employed in a Pinnacle practice, or any Pinnacle MHN employed nurse

The topics are as follows:

  1. Leadership and Management - Jan Adams
  2. Basic HR - Anna King
  3. Beliefs and values - Christine Hall
  4. Culture and its importance in organisations - Tammy Hebdich
  5. Interpersonal relationships and EQ/EI - Jayne Emerson
  6. Change management and navigating change - April McFarland
  7. Leading and managing clinical teams - Melissa Davidson
  8. Navigating the small and large 'p' of politics - Helen Parker
  9. Hearing the patient voice - April McFarland
  10. Resilience - Kirsty Connell

If you have not yet registered, please contact Hilde Mullins nurse lead as soon as possible. A calendar invite with zoom link and information will be sent out the week of 1 June.

We see this as a key step in developing future leaders and will offer coaching and support for all on this journey. We would also love to highlight stories from around the network about nurses and the great things they are doing. Please feel free to contact Jan Adams or Hilde Mullins with anything you would like to share, and we will make sure these are circulated wider.

It's a great year for nurses and nursing with the global aim to improve health globally by raising the status and profile of nursing - we can all agree with that!
