Together with the City of London, Southwark is the oldest area of London stretching back to Roman times. Rich in both history and literature, Southwark is also modern and fast paced. It is arguably one of the most diverse, tolerant and successful areas in the Capital. The people who live here play a huge role in making London one of the most exciting and cosmopolitan places in the world. Southwark is made up of eight very distinctive urban neighbourhoods that extend along the river Thames and down into South East London. They encompass some of London's top attractions, creative hotspots, scenic villages and acclaimed green spaces. Southwark is home to world famous attractions such as the Tate Modern, Borough Market, Tower Bridge and the Old Vic theatre.

Having relocated to the UK myself I have personal experience of the recruitment and relocation process. As your Synergy Consultant I will assist you in every aspect of your relocation to the UK, including providing you with sponsorship (entitling you to a 3 year visa), collection from the airport, opening a bank account, providing you with a mobile phone & call credit when you arrive, information on sourcing accommodation, travel information (both getting here and getting around when you arrive) and linking you up with other international recruits so you have an instant support network when you start working.

How Breathing Deeply Can Reduce Pain

How breathing deeply can reduce pain. Breathing slowly could be as good as some medicines at banishing pain.

Taking half as many breaths as normal not only reduces short-term pain from burns or cuts, but could help thousands who suffer chronic aches in their joints and muscles.

In a new study people were able to put up with higher levels of pain and for longer if they practised controlled breathing sessions in which they halved their breathing rates.

Most healthy adults take between 12 and 18 breaths a minute.


Take a deep breath: Studies show it can reduce pain

Take a deep breath: Studies show it can reduce pain


But new research shows that slowing this down to as few as six a minute can have a powerful pain-busting effect. U.S. researchers studied a group of healthy middle-aged women and a group of women with fibromyalgia - a condition that causes pain and for which there is no obvious cause.

Both groups were exposed to probes that generated heat against their hands at different temperatures.

Scientists wanted to measure how much pain they could tolerate.

Taking half the amount of normal breaths, both groups of women rated the pain as less intense than when they breathed normally.

One theory is that slow breathing reduces pain by having a direct effect on the sympathetic nervous system - fibres in the central nervous system which help to control blood flow and skin temperature.

Studies have shown that dampening down the sympathetic nervous system can block pain. ( dailymail.co.uk)

Out of the mouths of babes

I feel really bad for the decent cadets and health care assistants for writing this.  But the fact it is that many of them are not so good and should not be employed instead of Nurses.  They fact is that they will continue to be employed instead of Nurses.  Neither job seeking RN's who trained in the 70's nor new graduate RN's can find jobs on the wards. 

Here is the latest one from  the ward next to mine:

Patient became unwell in the night with..... let's say sepsis, very weak and has gone from able to attend to her own hygiene needs to being totally helpless.  This has happened very quickly.

Enter the auxillary, who has sat with the Nurse and "listened" to handover and all the information on these patients at the beginning of the shift. She  goes into the room.  I put the word "listened" in quotes because many auxilliaries, cadets and the like sleep through handover.  They just just get on with baths and forget everything else.

"You could wipe your bum yesterday, why not today?" says the auxillary to the patient.

I cannot convey how nasty and condescending she sounded when she said it.  A blog just cannot convey that.

The Nurse didn't know that this happened.  She was up to her eyeballs in drugs, orders, doctors rounds, discharges, emergencies, and admissions for her 15 patients while the auxilliaries were doing all the basic care unsupervised.  This is why we want RN staffing ratios to improve.  RN's all know that RN's must be involved with basic care.  This is true whether the RN trained in the 1970's under the hospital programs or in the 1990's under the hospita/university training programs.  It is the managers that do not understand this.

She found out when the patient's daughter came at her screaming and wanting to know how any "Nurse" could be so stupid and rude to her mother.  The Nurse gently explained that the auxillary "is not a nurse and doesn't have the knowledge but that is no excuse for what she said".    We have to say this to relatives a hundred times a day.

To appease the patient and her daughter the patient was transferred to my ward.  This is how I know about it.  I grabbed the non nurses (the only people I was working with that day, no other qualifieds) and I made them listen to me as I explained the patient's condition.

But the non nurses who come on duty tomorrow will again have a mini sleep during handover and the same thing may happen again.

Does anyone think it is funny that all these complaints about nurses being "rude"seems to coincide with the hospitals replacing real nurses with untrained people?
