3 Introduction
4 Introduction A pandemic flu outbreak in Scotland might result in an increase in demand for core neonatal staff, but may also cause a decrease in their availability due to personal sickness or work absence through caring for a loved one affected by illness. There is therefore a need to identify and train relief and temporary staff to maximise skilled workforce capacity in all departments of the neonatal service in the event of a pandemic flu outbreak. The neonatal service is a critical care service in that it provides highly specialised care to a unique patient population. Consequently, neonatal staff possess a repertoire of knowledge and skills that cannot easily be replaced in the short term. Other staff, such as midwives, children s nurses and students who rotate through neonatal units, and former neonatal staff may be called upon to provide care in the short term, but there is likely to be a shortfall in the levels and currency of their knowledge and clinical skills. These relief and temporary staff will need training and up-skilling, but they will be more valuable to the service if some of this training can be provided before workforce shortfalls arise. Clinical skills updating will have to be delivered in a short time frame. It therefore needs to be focused on individual and local needs, with educational/clinical governance standards in the quality and delivery of the training being maintained. It is anticipated that the basic knowledge underpinning neonatal care will have been acquired and retained during individuals previous neonatal experience. A short period of updating would therefore aim to develop competence and confidence in the delivery of special neonatal care and some high dependency care, as this will most likely reflect the level of service the individuals will be asked to provide (depending on previous experience and the time interval since last working in this environment). It is important to stress that this updating and up-skilling does not replace specialist neonatal education and training. 3
5 The essence of neonatal nursing care Like all health care professionals, relief and temporary staff in neonatal units will be expected to conduct themselves in accordance with the standards and guidance defined by their governing body (in this case, the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC)) and undertake activities in a professional manner, especially in relation to respecting confidentiality, showing empathy, providing information and liaising with other staff. Effective communication with parents, carers and colleagues is essential for all staff in neonatal units, including relief and temporary staff. This is achieved through active listening, acknowledging, responding, explaining, questioning, negotiating, analysing and facilitating. Relief and temporary staff should be aware of how to contact relevant colleagues when required and understand the barriers and boundaries to effective communication. Planning, assessing and evaluating are essential elements of neonatal care. Accurate record-keeping is fundamental to all nursing and midwifery practice and is important in promoting high-quality care. Records and documents must be legible, accurate, concise and contemporaneous, and record-keeping practice must comply with NMC standards (NMC, 2009). Relief and temporary staff in neonatal units must be able to initiate and maintain accurate care plans and record the outcomes of nursing and other interventions. Relief and temporary staff should work in partnership with parents, families and carers. Nurses and midwives in neonatal units are in a unique position to act as advocates for the baby and can play a vital role in child protection. Relief and temporary staff should be aware of their responsibilities in relation to advocacy and child protection, raising concerns to senior/permanent staff as appropriate. In addition, relief and temporary staff: may be able to take responsibility for the administration of prescribed medicines, depending on previous experience and training (and with the proviso that the associated knowledge and skills would have to be assured locally) must have the knowledge and ability to rationalise the strategy chosen in the application of all clinical skills, seeking advice and guidance where they have a deficit. 4
6 Training should include re-familiarising relief and temporary neonatal staff with daily routines, current documentation and other non-patient responsibilities they would be expected to fulfil. The clinical skills passport In developing this clinical skills passport, it has been useful to draw on the comprehensive work of the Scottish Neonatal Nurses Group (SNNG) which details clinical competencies and core clinical skills appropriate to different levels of care within the neonatal service. Orientation and induction programmes from neonatal units in Scotland have also been accessed. The SNNG competencies and core clinical skills are divided into four levels, based on the neonatal career structure the group devised in As a general principle, it is proposed that competence in Level 1 and some, but not all, Level 2 skills would be realistic target achievements for relief and temporary staff. Following on from the categorisation of skills defined by NES (NES, 2002), the SNNG working group presented the core clinical skills under the following headings: 1. fluid, electrolyte, nutrition and elimination management 2. neurological and pain management 3. respiratory and cardiovascular management 4. skin and hygiene management 5. thermal control management 6. bereavement management 7. investigations and procedures 8. equipment. For the purpose of this clinical skills passport for relief and temporary staff in neonatal units, these headings, relating to levels 1 and 2, have been modified in response to consultation with neonatal professionals. 5
7 Use of this clinical skills passport The clinical skills passport is intended as a guidance document for clinical neonatal staff and, especially, new relief and temporary staff in a particular set of circumstances. It can be used to guide: individual practitioners to benchmark their own skill base, identify learning needs and chart progress service managers to assist in the recruitment of relief and temporary staff for the neonatal service educators to establish training programmes to meet particular service needs clinical teams in the deployment of relief and temporary staff. Individual skill items may be added or removed from the passport depending on the needs of individual services at a particular time. Individuals using the clinical skills passport should: review their experience and practice to date, identifying relevant skills and knowledge appraise themselves against relevant skill levels, identifying those that are not met agree with their manager or supervisor and education provider a programme that meets their learning needs to achieve all clinical skills relevant to their post and position set goals and devise an action plan to achieve the desired clinical skills collect documented evidence of achievement in meeting identified clinical skills. 6
