Grosvenor Nursing is encouraging all UK healthcare workers to have the free NHS Flu jab for which all healthcare workers are eligible.

Frontline nurses, HCAs and other agency workers should protect themselves by having the flu vaccine to prevent the spread of flu to colleagues and other members of the community.

The 2012/13 UK vaccine protects against three types of flu virus, according to the NHS Cumbria Partnership. This year’s flu jab protects against:

• H1N1 – the strain of flu that caused the swine flu pandemic in 2009
• H3N2 – a strain of flu that can infect birds and mammals and was active in 2011
• A strain of flu that was active in 2010 known as B/Wisconsin/1

Britons are the ‘most unhygienic nation’, according to a new report. Britons were half as likely as other nationals to cover their hands and mouth more frequently when coughing or sneezing during the swine flu pandemic, the study has suggested.

The findings were published in the journal ‘Lancet Infectious Diseases’. Dr Gillian Steel Fisher of the Harvard School of Public Health in Boston, in America, said: “The wide variations between countries in our study shows that in the event of another serious outbreak of infectious disease, public perceptions have to be taken into account to best tailor and communicate policy approaches that need public support in each country.

“Our findings suggest that promoting non-pharmaceutical interventions – such as handwashing and avoiding large public gatherings of people – do not jeopardise the adoption of vaccination, though the uptake of vaccines was low compared to other behaviours in all countries we surveyed.

“To maximise the effect of pandemic policies, future efforts might need to combine vaccination programmes with support for the most effective non-pharmaceutical interventions.”

Grosvenor Nursing is a supporter of Mental Health Awareness Week – which runs from 21 to 27 May 2012 - and the work of the Mental Health Foundation - www.mentalhealth.org.uk. Grosvenor is a nursing agency that provides mental health-qualified nurses for homecare and care provider settings. The Mental Health Foundation raises awareness of public mental health issues which are often neglected.

Mental health nursing is one of the most complex and demanding areas of nursing, says Grosvenor. As many as one in three people are thought to suffer some form of mental health problem. For many, mental illness is brought on by a crisis in life, with which they can’t cope, such as depression after the death of a partner.

A mental health nurse may be part of a team working with people who may have been excluded from services through drug or alcohol abuse. The range of conditions is wide: neuroses, psychoses, psychological and personality disorders all come under the broad heading of mental health.

Grosvenor Nursing can provide nurses and HCAs in a range of settings, such as for residential and day care centres, as well for private nursing care at home. Grosvenor manages and supplies temporary staff for short, medium and long term assignments. Nurses can work as part of a team which can include general practitioners, psychologists, social workers, psychiatrists, occupational therapists, arts therapists and healthcare assistants.

Grosvenor offers nurses jobs in all major mental health specialisations. It operates a detailed process for registering staff and ensuring compliance. This includes: face-to-face interviews to confirm language ability; CRB checking; completion of a 23-page registration form, including full details of career history and qualifications; provision of four references; proof of original ‘right to work’, qualifications and training certification; and an employer’s report.

Registration for nursing agency jobs is free. Grosvenor is recruiting staff throughout England for HM Prison Service, Primary Care Trusts and Mental Health Trusts in all areas – currently in Birmingham, Bradford, Bristol, Cardiff, Coventry, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Leeds, Leicester; Liverpool and London, Manchester, Nottingham, Sheffield, Sunderland and Wakefield.
