Introduction
Welcome to the Nursing Strategy for the Department of Nursing at the Golden Jubilee National Hospital. This document sets out our plans for continued delivery of high quality and person centred nursing care in a time of change, expansion and opportunity.
To develop our plans going forward, we consulted with many of our nursing staff from all parts of the hospital to ask them what were their priorities and what makes them proud to be part of our wider nursing family.
Key themes emerged from our conversations with the teams and these are fundamental in shaping our plans for patient care for the future.
We have external drivers for the nursing department in addition to our internal and local drivers. We include these in our plans for the future (this includes Excellence in Care, Health and Care Staffing (Scotland) Act (2019), Realistic Medicine and the Nursing Vision – 2030).
2020 marks the World Health Organisation International Year of the Nurse and Midwife and this is a fitting way for us to launch our own Strategy and our unique contribution to patient care.
