Well it’s a time for a change from Christmas Card Gate.
The cottage looks like the Wreck Of The Hesperus and I’m getting things ship shape again, with cards being wrapped up and put away, clothes washed and floors scrubbed clean
I’m also sorting out my Christmas gifts one of which is a lovely Lino cut of a wood, a gift from my twin sister.
I’ve taken down a framed award I received on behalf of a ward team I once ran and swapped it for the linocut.
I’m in the process of finding a place for the award and have been left musing about all of the teams I have been a part of over the years
Each team I have worked with has possessed it’s own strengths and weaknesses.
Of course this is governed in part by the type of leadership employed for and by each one and the mutual support systems set up between the individual members.
The massive Intensive Care Team was perhaps the most structured, technically astute and cohesive team whereas the psychiatric ward team, by nature of the work was more lateral thinking, humorous and anarchic.
I am conceited enough to think of the spinal injury team I once lead was one of the happiest but it was certainly the most eclectic given it’s teaching hospital status, speciality and situation in the melting pot that is Sheffield in South Yorkshire.
Sheffield nurses, in my experience are much more vocal and militant than any others I have worked alongside.
Not a bad trait I think.
The hospice nurses in general have a pace all of their own and remind me of the African nurses I have had the pleasure of working alongside with in Yorkshire .
Nurses that glided but were never hurried
Teams run well where support and respect is mutual, management is fair, evident and consistent and humour is encouraged.
A mixture of sexes, ages and lifestyles help too
