To record your hours of practice as a registered nurse
and/or midwife, please fill in a page for each of your
periods of practice. Please enter your most recent
practice first and then any other practice until you reach
450 hours. You do not necessarily need to record
individual practice hours. You can describe your
practice hours in terms of standard working days or
weeks. For example if you work full time, please just
make one entry of hours. If you have worked in a range
of settings please set these out individually. You may
need to print additional pages to add more periods of
practice. If you are both a nurse and midwife you will
need to provide information to cover 450 hours of
practice for each of these registrations.

On the day
incident
took place I
was not on
duty, the
senior
nurse was
unable to
send the
resident to
the hospital
and the
nurse on
night shift
also did not
care to take
any action
to give
some relief
to the
resident till
morning.
The
manageme
nt did not
inform me
about the
seriousness
of the
incident, so
that I would
have taken
the possible
action.
There was
no action
taken by
the nurses
or no
response
was given
to the
resident till
3 hours, he
was
admitted in
the
hospital.
I registered
on the next
day of the
incident, I
was not
informed
by the
nurses
about the
seriousness
of the
resident
and was
handover
the case
due to
which I did
not check
the resident
till 11: 30
A.M. and
did not
inform the
managemen
t till 2 P.M.
The lack of communication
between the nurse and the
management made it difficult to
understand the seriousness of the
incident which lead to delay in the
treatment due to which the
resident was not cured in time.

I meat with
the nurse
and J.M
quality
manager
who
discussed
about their
two care
plans (H.H
and E.R).
When I was
looking to
one of the
plans the
nurse drew
one of the
care staff
attention,
why she
would not
wear rings
on duty.
The nurse
and J.M
made care
plans to
give the
proper
attention to
residents.
The nurse
went
straight
away
toward the
staff to
whom she
saw were
trying to
transfer the
resident
from
armchair to
wheelchair.
It was
around
2:30 P.M. I
meat J.M
quality
manager
and the
nurse for
some
discussion
on the two
care plans
(H.H and
E.R) and the
wound
audits of
the
residents.
I was there
to
understand
the care
plans and
how to
handle the
serious and
delicate
residents
for the
proper
treatment.
The care plans drawn by the nurse
was to give a proper treatment to
the residents when needed.

On the
medication
round I
noticed that
there was
no entry of
Fentanyl
patch on
05.02.2017
and was
signed in
MAR chart
by the
administrat
ion. I asked
V.A to
recheck it
from the CD
but there
was no
entry. I
directly
reported to
C.C (deputy
manager) in
the meeting
at 10.
There was
no entry of
the
medication
treatment
of Fentanyl
patch on
the
administrat
ion records.
The
resident
was marked
in MAR
chart.
I had a
meeting
with C.C
(deputy
manager) at
10 A.M.
about not
maintaining
the records
properly.
As I noticed
that the
entry of
Fentanyl
patch of Mr.
B.L is not in
the records,
I asked to
reconfirm it
with the CD.
The records
were not
found in the
CD so I
reported to
the deputy
manager in
the
meeting.
There should be proper record of
every resident for the better
treatment. The proper records
help the doctors to analyse the
actual situation of the resident.

In this I
wanted to
thank
everyone
for taking
care of the
resident.
The
resident
found all
the nurses
very caring
and the
staff was
very
helpful.
The care
taken by
the staff
during the
last months
of the
resident's
life made
her very
happy. She
wanted to
thank
everyone
but
specially to
the Dawn
and Vasilka.
The
resident
was here
till here last
days.
I found all
the nurses
and the
staff caring
and helpful
towards the
resident's.
They used
to attend
the
resident's
very well
and gave
the
medicine on
time.
I will ensure that the care and help
by the nurses and staff remains
the same for the resident's. The
proper care and help leads to
recover the resident's faster.

In this case
I have
highlighted
the
problems
faced by the
handicap
people. The
improper
care and
attention to
the people
suffering
from this
leads to
improper
treatment
by the
doctors.
I would
manage the
staff to pay
attention to
the
problems of
the
handicap
people.
They
should be
listen and
cured on
time. Their
problems
should be
taken
seriously .
The
manageme
nt should
take care of
the
seriousness
of the
incident, so
that I would
have taken
the possible
action.
The
resident
was under
observation
till 3 hours.
The
managemen
t was not
helpful and
caring
towards the
resident.
This lead to
improper
treatment
of the
resident
and
miscommu
nication
among the
staff and
the nurse.
I will make sure that the
management and staff members
should give proper attention to
these resident's for better
treatment. The proper response
and care given to these resident's
will let them fight with their
problems easily.

Content of feedback
What was the feedback about and how has it influenced your practice?
24/02/16 Resident Negative The feedback was about improper care and treatment of the
resident. He was not treated on time by the doctors due to the lack
of communication skills between the management and the nurses.
The feedback influenced in a adverse way in my practice because I
got a warning letter from the higher authority and witness were
needed to justify that I was not in the hospital at that time.

18/01/17 Resident Negative This feedback was negative because the care plans were still in
the process of application. The care plans were still been
discussed rather than implemented on time.
The nurse did not handle the resident in a proper way, which lead
the resident shout on her. This was adverse for the growth of the
hospital.
06/02/17 Resident Negative Keeping no or wrong records of the resident's treatment will lead
to adverse feedback.
There were no records of Mr. B.L about his treatment of Fentanyl
patch on 05.02.17 in CD and register and his was marked in MAR
chart which created a confusion in my mind for the further
treatments to be given.
25/02/16 Resident Positive The feedback was about the good services and care towards the
resident.
The resident was satisfied with the help and care of the resident. I
will try to continue this with more improvements for better
results.
30.02.17 Resident Negative The feedback was adverse because the resident who are handicap
were not treated properly by the staff. They were unable share
their problems with the management due to their rude behavior.
The resident was very unsatisfied with the management for their
avoidance and improper care towards the problem.

Case 1
Reflective account:
What was the nature of the CPD activity and/or practice-related feedback
and/or event or experience in your practice?
Continuing professional development (CPD) activity is related to improve skills of
workers contributed in team work. It is online learning method for increasing working
efficiencies of hospital staff. In this regard, different tools and practices related to
health and social care are considered for effective treatment and hospitalization for
patients of the entity. However, feedback regarding services of hospital are achieved
through conducting survey with patients and analyzing their satisfaction level with
hospitalization. Including this, annual appraisal is provided to staff members which is
also able to encourage them for better quality work. Moreover, preparing team
performance report is also considers as one the essential tool for experiencing our
practices and hospitality of the organization. Therefore, by using these tools, proper
feedback regarding treatment services and team building can be identified that
generated variety of ideas for improving health and social care services at higher
level.
What did you learn from the CPD activity and/or feedback and/or event or
experience in your practice?
Through conducting CPD activities, it is recognized that all staff members of the
hospital entity perform their work more efficiently. Including this, positive and
effective environment of the organization is created by effective coordination of all
team workers. As per analyzing my performance, I am feeling like improving in my
skills for building team and managing all staff members' performance effectively. In
addition to this, I improved my communication and listening skills which is helpful for
proper team building and creating peaceful environment of the entity. Moreover, I
learned to handle situations occur at workplace through motivating all members and
getting adjusted towards problems. In order to this, I feel improvement in my
performance as well skills which are favorable for personal and professional
development.
