    DOH601899-0001 Portsmouth HealthCare NHS Trust One Year On: Aspects of Clinical Nursing Governance in the Department of Elderly Medicine Eileen Thomas September 2001 DOH601899-0002 Executive Summary This summary reports the findings of a review into aspects of clinical nursing governance in the Department of Elderly Medicine, Portsmouth HealthCare NHS Trust. The same methods were used as those in an initial review conducted between January and May 2000. This first review was instigated as a result of high staff turnover and recruitment difficulties which had implications for bed availability and care quality. As a consequence of the first review, many changes have been implemented. There was clear evidence of increased responsiveness to staff requests for different ways of working, and several statistical indicators demonstrated improvements. A new clinical career structure had enabled clinical supervision to be developed and in general morale throughout the division was much higher than it had been previously. The NHS modernisation agenda requires that more improvements are made in the future. espcially those based around patient care needs. The report recommends some ways in which the division can rise to meet these challenges in the future DOH601899-0003 1. Introduction 1.1 During the early months of 2000, a review was conducted into aspects of Clinical Nursing Governance in the Department of Elderly Medicine, Portsmouth HealthCare NHS Trust. It was instigated primarily as a result of short term bed closures which occurrred as a result of high turnover and nursing recruitment difficullties. The subsequent report made a number of recommendations and provided several learning points for the division.

  • What's Stopping a Career in Gerontological Nursing?
    What’s Stopping a Career in Gerontological Nursing? Literature Review ABSTRACT Despite the rapid aging of the world’s population, many countries are experiencing difficulty in recruiting nurses to work with older people. A literature review was conducted regarding the career preferences of undergraduate nursing students from seven dif- ferent countries. The literature review has identified that geron- tological nursing does not feature highly as a career goal. Nota- bly, this has been the situation for the past decade. There is no indication that the situation is going to change at any time in the future unless some serious decisions are made at professional, health service, community, and government levels. This literature review has identified the reasons why undergraduate nurses are not choosing gerontological nursing as a career, what has been done in an attempt to address the problem, and what else may be done. [Journal of Gerontological Nursing, xx(x), xx-xx.] he rapid aging of the world’s population means that the proportion of people ages 60 and older Twill increase from 11% to 22% between 2000 and 2050 (World Health Organization, 2012). In the United States, 41.4 million people are 65 and older, with 24.7% of these individuals rating their health as “fair” or “poor” (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2011). Fur- thermore, 1.3 million of these people live in long-term care (LTC) facilities. The situation is similar in countries with smaller populations such as Australia, where 185,482 older Australians lived in LTC facilities as of June 2011 (Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, 2012).
