Twitter Chats

BACCN Twitter Chat: BACCN Twitter chat sessions started back in 2018/2019 and what a journey it has been. Twitter (or X as it is now known) was the first virtual platform BACCN utilised to get conversations started around topics important to us as Critical Care Nurses and has really helped us engage with our members and other like-minded practitioners.  As part of a wider review of how we are delivering educational resources going forward, we will be pausing our regular Twitter chat sessions for a while as we re-assess and give you the opportunity to say what works best for you. Keep an eye out for our survey and we would really appreciate your input into this. 

Join the Conversation!

Members of the BACCN National Board will be hosting regular Twitter Chats and encourage you to join them at @BACCNUK.

Dates are listed below and remember to use the relevent # to follow the conversation.

Following some feedback our regular twitter are now on a rolling schedule which means the chat will take place on a different day of the week every month to enable more of you to take part, although each chat will still start at 7pm for 1 hour.  Looking forward to continue our debates around some very interesting topics.

#BACCNRNA

As with many nursing specialities, Critical Care nurses feel under threat since COVID-19. New staffing models are creeping in which could potentially be seen to dilute the skill mix and encourage more task-orientated care rather than the one-to-one holistic care.  The nursing associate role was developed as a clinical support role that bridges the gap between healthcare support workers and registered nurses. Created to deliver hands-on, person-centred care as part of nursing teams. The Nursing Associate role works in a variety of settings in health and social care and with people of all ages (NHSE, 2023). Many RNA's go on to become registered nurses by using their training to contribute towards a shortened nursing degree or a Registered Nurse Degree Apprenticeship (RNDA). CC3N recently published "Best Practice Guidelines for Registered Nursing Associates in Adult Critical Care Units" endorsed by the UKCCNA.  For our last Twitter (x) chat of 2023, we would like to talk #BACCNRNA. What is your view and or experience?
