Nursing and Midwifery COVID-19 Catalogue of Change
Nursing and midwifery professionals have played and continue to play a critical role in the COVID-19 response.
The Nursing and Midwifery COVID-19 Catalogue of Change includes a wide range of cases studies from nurses and midwives from across England; sharing ideas and innovations that they have put in place and that have made a difference in these difficult times.
Reflecting day-to-day practice as we now adapt to working in different ways to continue to ensure the highest delivery of care across communities and organisations. The Nursing and Midwifery Covid-19 Catalogue of Change captures real-time, point of care learning showcasing our #1ProfessionalVoice and collective leadership.
Underpinned by relevant evidence-based policy and complemented by the work of the CNO’s shared professional decision-making councils where nursing and midwifery colleagues come together to discuss and debate professional, clinical and operational matters that are important to them and their colleagues.
We would also encourage any nursing and midwifery colleagues to contact us and share their ideas and innovations which have made a difference to their patients, colleagues or communities.
To contribute to the catalogue or to discuss this resource please contact england.1professionalvoice@nhs.net.
