Around a fifth of the adult social care workforce are from a black or minority ethnic background. This increases to 40% of nurses. Sadly, this diversity is not reflected at senior management and leadership level. A new leadership programme aims to change that. [Image copyright Lauren Hurley/DHSC]. Quality, diversity, status. As Chief Nurse for Adult Social Care, one of my unwavering priorities is to improve the quality, diversity and status of adult social care (ASC) nursing.

Earlier this week, I shared a post about the importance of feeling your feelings. Though there are a lot of ways you can do this, one of my favorite ways is through journaling. Journaling slows me down, and gives me time to collect my thoughts and figure out what I’m really feeling. It has a way of cutting through the noise and find what really needs to be shared.

Last week, I wrote about the summer and how it’s flying by. This weekend, everything I did reminded me of the classic phrase “time flies when you’re having fun.” While it might feel our lives are moving faster than we can handle, that can also mean we’re doing things we enjoy and are with people we love. And even though those feelings of enjoyment can be fleeting, being intentional about feeling them can actually go a long way toward long-term health and wellness.

Payroll optimization can be one of the most time-consuming and complex factors of small business management. Yet, organizations that crack the code on streamlining employee compensation often discover innovative avenues for growth. With the right strategies in place, outsourcing and streamlining payroll processes can result in substantial time and resource savings.

I have no motivation, but I still have to get things done, just like everyone. Getting things done without motivation is no easy feat, however. I find that my amotivation (no motivation) combined with the other symptoms of depression pretty much glue me to the couch. And while there seems to be a lot of recognition of a lack of motivation and other similar concepts like abolition and abulia in mental illness, there seems to be precious few solutions.

For a thriving practice, you need to differentiate yourself from others and present yourself in a way that attracts referrals. These days, much of that happens online, including on social media. In this webinar, Gary Direnfeld will discuss how social media marketing can help you build your private practice and grow your client base.

New report says policy changes are needed to protect ‘hidden workforce’ from exploitation Live-in care workers recruited from overseas to care for disabled and elderly people in Britain are being exploited by “unscrupulous” agencies who dock their pay to cover “accommodation costs”, according to new research. The workers, who live with clients to provide round-the-clock care, in some cases had their pay reduced by hundreds of pounds a month despite being paid only the minimum wage to begin with.

One of the biggest mistakes separated parents do in their texting and emailing with a narcissistic ex, is try to respond to all their false, misleading and manipulative remarks and allegations. There is a felt need to correct the narcissist and not be blamed for matters that do not originate with oneself, but them. With that the narcissist just sees you as engaged and rather than standing corrected, they respond with more infuriating and manipulative versions of their view of things.
