An Introduction to Salford

Updated August 2017 Andrea Mansfield, Joanne Bint, Faye Williams and Alison Hamer

http://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=i&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=images&cd=&docid=ieIinMmzxdemGM&tbnid=YWq9QVwD_oB_qM:&ved=0CAUQjRw&url=http://www.safeguardingni.org/cyp/welcome&ei=rwZ9U8z1Hsmr7Aatw4D4Bw&psig=AFQjCNGxKhqFRfcVmY2NFBcq1kuOGqR_yw&ust=1400788915952302

Salford is a city constantly changing and moving into an exciting future as a

thriving cultural, economic and residential location. From urban buzz to greenbelt

tranquility, Salford is building on the mixture of its waterfront, urban and

countryside environments to create places where people want to live, work,

invest and visit.

Salford is about 200 miles North West of London. With excellent road and public

transport links to all parts of the UK, the city is well placed as a visitor and

commercial centre. And Manchester International Airport, gateway to over 200

international destinations, is just a few miles away too. The city of Salford covers

37 square miles and the five districts of Salford, Eccles, Worsley, Irlam and

Cadishead, and Swinton and Pendlebury. Some 220,000 people are proud to call

Salford their home!

Salford's closeness to Manchester city centre makes it an important part of the

economy and culture that is driving England's North West forward. Salford and

Manchester enjoy a unique situation: their connection creates a wealth of

opportunities ranging from the potential for business relocation and development

to establishing Salford's waterways and watersides as key regional and national

visitor attractions and turning the city into a residential area of choice within

Greater Manchester.

Our Philosophy


Children’s Services: Empowered to Enable

Mission Statement

By placing children, young people and families first, we will safely deliver high quality services that will empower and enable them to achieve their full potential.

The 0-19 Service aims to respect and recognise each infant, child and young

person as unique individuals whose best interests must be paramount, whilst

considering their physical, psychological, social, cultural and spiritual needs, as

well as those of the family.

The aim of this orientation pack is to provide relevant information so that each

student can make full use of the appropriate learning opportunities available

within Central health visiting team locality and the surrounding areas, and enjoy a

positive learning experience.

‘As a team we believe we offer students a safe and welcoming environment. We

encourage individual and collaborative working, and the team endeavor to

enhance the students learning experience by sharing their extensive skills,

knowledge and expertise.

We believe each student is an individual and will treat them as such. We will

negotiate action plans and strive to ensure they meet the students learning

outcomes, enabling them to be in control of their own learning.

We aim to motivate students and give them a feeling of belonging.

As a team, we recognise that students will come with different life experiences

and different levels of knowledge, and during your placement we will endeavor to

facilitate relevant learning opportunities as identified by your action plans.


Learning is a two way process however, you are ultimately responsible for your

own educational and professional development.

You have been allocated a named mentor and co-mentor for your time with us

and will remain supernumerary during your placement. If you have any specific

learning needs, they should be discussed at the earliest opportunity.


Achieving excellence in learning and care...Placement CharterThis Charter demonstrates the Placement’s commitment to provide a safe and high quality learning environment for all learners to prepare them for their future roles working collaboratively in multi-professional teams. The ‘Placement Pledges’ and the ‘Rights, Roles and Responsibilities of learners’ instill the values embedded within the NHS Constitution (DH 2013) and Health Education England’s NHS Education Outcomes Framework (DH 2012).

The Role of the 0-19 Health Visitor and School Nursing Team


Within the community, the 0-19 Service has access to all children from 0-19

years (0-25 SEND) and therefore has an important role in fulfilling the health

needs of these children and their families.

The Salford 0-19 Service offers a universal service following the Healthy Child

Programme (HCP) to these families using standard operating Procedures

(SOP’s) and the 4-5-6 model. This will ensure that information is given to

families in a timely manner in accordance with the latest evidenced based

research in core contacts and public health issues.

https://www.gov.uk/.../healthy-child-programme-0-to-19-health-visitor-and- school-nurse-commissioning

ihv.org.uk/.../phe-new-integrated-4-5-6-model-updated-high-impact-areas

All Health Visitors, school nurses and community Staff Nurses are qualified

nurses from a variety of backgrounds holding Adult, Mental Health, Child or

Midwifery registration. They have a wealth of knowledge and experience.

The Health Visitors and School Nurses have undertaken additional training at

degree level or above in child health, health promotion and specialist public

health nursing and have a major role in safeguarding children. Having also

undertaken the non-medical prescribing qualification, they are able to diagnose

and prescribe relevant treatments for identified health needs.

The Community Staff Nurses are able to support the 0-19 Service with the

delivery of the HCP by providing home visits for the health, weight and

development monitoring of infants, national child measurement programme, and

health assessments within schools. They are also able to provide additional

support to families with complex/medical needs, and have experience with the 0-

19 age range. The Staff Nurses work alongside the Health Visitor in healthy child

clinics to support growth and measurements, and the School Nurses to deliver

the immunisation programme, drop ins, sexual health, healthier lifestyles and

Emotional health and well-being.


The Community Nursery Nurses hold recognised Child Care qualifications. They

are able to support the Health Visitor in providing addition support for identified

families. They attend clinic sessions for weight monitoring and advice, and

facilitate the running of groups such as first foods and breast feeding support.

The Nursery Nurses will arrange and perform developmental reviews of infants

aged 24 months, and are able to provide advice on issues such as behavior,

sleep, eating and toilet training, making any necessary referrals. Each Nursery

nurse is a link to an identified nursey to support transition for school readiness.

School Health Assistants support the School nurses and Community Staff

Nurses with the delivery of the HCP. They support with the immunisation

programme and coordinate the sessions at each school. They are Key to

delivering the National Child Measurement Programme for reception and year 6

children.

The Health Visitor Assistant provides the administrational support of the team.

They will make up records for new infants allocated to the cluster, and arrange

for records to be sent onto relevant bodies upon request. They have a vast

experience of the databases used within the community setting and will

undertake the ordering and distribution of requisitions.

HEALTH VISITORS

MICHELLE JONES

My name is Michelle Jones and I am the Cluster Lead Health Visitor for West team.

I qualified as a Health Visitor in 1996 and have worked in numerous areas throughout Salford as a Health Visitor, Sure Start Health Visitor

and Cluster Lead.Prior to commencing my Health Visitor training I worked as a Midwife

at Bolton General Hospital and also at Blackpool Victoria Hospital.The role of Cluster Lead can be quite stressful and challenging, but working with a motivated, hardworking team means that together we provide best practice for our clients and provide a supportive working

environment for all team members.This supportive environment is hopefully recognised and valued by

students on placement with the West HV team.

Faye WilliamsHealth Visitor & Practice Teacher

Practice Education Lead

At the age of sixteen I became a Cadet Nurse with the frilly hat and cloak. I completed this training for two years, whilst undertaking my A- levels part time. There was nothing more fun than cleaning metal

bed pans, wiping down patient’s lockers and working in the laboratories. By the time I started my Nurse training I had already

watched a patient die and undertaken ‘last-offices’.I felt well prepared for my General Nurse Training , all the exams I took were unseen papers with a Pre State final exam and a State Final Exam, both were three hour unseen papers. This gave no

opportunity for cheating of help from my friends Ha! Ha! I was so excited when I qualified as a registered Nurse and got the thick navy

stripe on my nurse’s hat. I had a job waiting for me on the Medical ward where I was currently a student. I felt so proud as I knew they

had handpicked me.I spent a year working on the Medical Ward then moved to a Surgical

Ward. I moved from there to specialise in Coronary Care and


Intensive Care. It was this that made my decision to apply for secondment to complete the ENB course in Intensive care. I moved

to a Cardio Thoracic Unit and spent a year there. From this I gained a Sisters post in charge of a very busy unit completing Dialysis and

dealing with Major Trauma Patients including many fatalities.Watching the lives of many young people pass away altered my career direction. Following the birth of my son who was born with significant health problems, it steered my direction towards Health

Visiting. I did complete the course by the grace of god. I never thought I would see the light at the other end of the tunnel, or any

book so hard to read.I have worked in most clinics within the Salford area.

I have undertaken lots of valuable extended Roles such as Examination of the New-born at Masters Level which I have carried out as part of the Child Health Surveillance Programme carried out

normally by G.P’s. My Enthusiasm lies with Learning and Development therefore I have successfully completed the Practice Teacher Training at Masters. I support the specialist Community

Practitioners in Health Visiting to complete their training and facilitate the learning needs and mentorship of training Practice Teachers

coming into the role. I have completed Research projects and many Audits. I hold the V300 qualification and love prescribing new

products for my families.

NICOLA JONES

Hi, my name is Nicola Jones and I have been a health visitor for 3 yrs here at Walkden. Prior to this I worked with Little Hulton health

visiting team as a staff nurse for 8yrs. I trained as an adult nurse when I was 19yrs and did further training at Pendlebury Children’s

Hospital to become a childrens nurse (RSCN). For 10yrs I worked as a staff nurse on an orthopaedic and ENT ward which specialised in spinal surgery, this lead me to becoming a scoliosis specialist nurse

for approx 2yrs. I have always had an interest in working with students and enjoy being a mentor. I completed my 998 mentorship course many years ago and then did ‘prep for mentorship’ module at

Bolton Uni more recently as a refresher.


I am married with 2 boys (Ben and Oliver).

Lyndsay Briody

I am a qualified Paediatric Nurse having qualified in 2008 with a degree from Salford University.

I began a career in Neonatal Intensive Care upon qualifying, working at Salford Royal Hospital. I did this for 10months full time, during

which talks were under way regarding the impending closure of the unit and reallocation of staff to several other units across Greater Manchester. An opportunity presented itself within the community, which I applied for and was successful in gaining employment as a staff nurse for Trafford working alongside the health visiting team. I

reduced my contract on Neonates to one day a week (at a weekend) and commenced work as a full time community staff nurse within

health visiting. Following on 12months from this, I was encouraged by management to apply and again was successful in securing a place

on the Specialist Community Practice Health Visiting course at Manchester Metropolitan Community. Due to study, I reluctantly resigned from my career in neonates and spent the proceeding

12months in fulltime education, qualifying as Health Visitor in 2011. I have worked in this role ever since, covering very diverse areas such as the affluent areas of Hale during my time at Trafford, to the very

deprived area of Little Hulton in Salford.

JOSIE HUGHES

I began my nursing career in 1984 training as an Enrolled Nurse. On completion of training I worked at Ladywell Hospital for 15 years

working with the elderly. I worked for 10 years specialising in stroke rehabilitation and 5 years in orthopaedic rehabilitation before going to day services. During this time I also completed my RGN conversion

course and completed a Diploma in Adult nursing. After leaving Ladywell Hospital I then went to work as a Community district nurse

for 5 years gaining a varied amount of skills. Following this I then worked as a staff nurse in health visiting for 4 years before going on

to complete my SPCHV course in January 2014.


DOE OWENS

Hi, I am known to the team as Doe Owens. I started my nursing career as a home carer for the elderly. When my children had started

school full time, I took up a role as a support assistant on the renal dialysis unit at Salford Royal. After a year on the unit, I was fortunate

enough to be seconded to undertake my nurse training at Salford University. It was diploma back then, but I graduated with a Diploma with Advanced Standing: Adult Nursing: basically half way toward a

degree qualification.Whilst on mother and baby placement, I accessed a spoke placement

for a day on the neonatal unit and submitted my CV to them at the Trust’s open day. I secured a job with them and worked on the unit for three years. A vacancy then came up for a neonatal outreach

nurse; basically seeing the babies when they are discharged home from the unit, being a source of support to the midwifery service for

poor feeding issues or obtaining blood samples from infants with jaundice problems. I regularly monitored the health and well-being of infants on home tube-feeding programmes, home oxygen pathways

or end of life care; I spent a further three years in this role.

Due to changes within the maternity services at Salford Royal and the impending closure of the neonatal service, I took the decision to join the Health Visiting service as a staff nurse. The opportunity arose to undertake Health Visitor training and I qualified in September 2012. I

am the Newborn Screening Coordinator for Salford, the trainer for non-patient manual handing and ANTT for the West cluster health visiting team, and have undertaken the Safeguarding Supervision

course at University of Bolton.

My name is Kerry Wilson and I have been part of the West Health Visiting Team since September 2015. My Nurse training commenced

in 2003 where I attended The University of Manchester for 3 years and qualified with a Diploma in Professional Studies in Adult Nursing. My first job as a trained nurse was on a medical oncology ward where

I lasted a whole 4 months! I realised Medical Oncology was not for


me and was successful at applying to work on a gynaecology rotation at Saint Marys Hospital in Manchester. Here my first rotation

placement was reproductive medicine and In Vitro Fertilisation and I liked it so much I asked for a permanent position. I remained there

until 2010 when I had my little boy and due to the commute into central Manchester I realised I needed to re look at my options. I applied for position of Evening District Nurse and fortunately was

successful. I worked as a District Nurse for 5 years and when my little boy was old enough to attend school I applied to The University of Bolton to become a Health Visitor. My training was a LONG HARD

12 months and I was lucky to finally qualify with a Post Graduate Diploma in Specialist Community Public Health Nursing/ Health

Visiting. I was successful at interview to work on the West Health Visiting Team and I qualified from University on the 12th September

2015 and started work as a qualified Health Visitor on 14th September 2015. The rest is History

Safeguarding Children


Safeguarding children encompasses a vast amount of the 0-19 service’s daily caseload. All members of the 0-19 team identify vulnerability in infants, children, young people and families as part of their role and offer appropriate targeted interventions to improve health outcomes.

The 0-19 Service is responsible for monitoring the physical and emotional health and well-being of children who are subject to a Child Protection Plan, Child in Need plan and those in the Team around the Family arena, these are reviewed on a regular basis, dependant on level of need.

The 0-19 service attend child protection case conferences and are part of the multi-disciplinary core group; a group of professionals identified at the initial case conference and along with parents and children / young people, who will work together and meet every 4-6 weeks to ensure the recommendations from case conference are abided too.

Children will move up or down the levels, when situations change. As the children and family’s needs increase supplemental services will be required and in some instances delivered within a legal framework.

Transition from one level to another should happen seamlessly to ensure that information is shared appropriately.

Safeguarding Children Threshold of Need


Level 1. (Community) All children accessing mainstream services with no

identified additional needs.

Level 2. (Universal) Children with additional needs that can be met by targeted

support from a single practitioner or agency, or multi agency support. Consider a

FAF (Family Assessment Framework).

Level 3. (Universal Plus)Children with significant additional needs that have not

been met by multi agency support and TAC, and where significant concern

remains. This is met by CIN (Child in Need)

Level 4. (Universal Partnership Plus) Children with acute needs requiring a

specialist or statutory response. Child Protection Plan (CPP). Children that are

Looked After also meet this threshold.
