Please state whether you have a physical/mental health condition that has a substantial effect on your ability to carry out day-to-day activities and has lasted, or is expected to last for 12 months or more.

Please could you inform us if you will require any special arrangements for the interview eg wheelchair access, induction loop, etc.

The NHS Knowledge and Skills Framework (KSF) defines and also describes the knowledge and skills that NHS employees need to apply in their work in order to deliver quality services. It provides a single, consistent, and comprehensive framework on which to base review and development for all employees.

KSF will apply to all NHS employees except doctors, dentists and senior and executive level managers. The purpose of the NHS KSF is:

To support the effective learning and development of all staff, providing the resources to do so.

To support the development of individuals in the post to which they are employed, so that they are effective at work and are clear about what is required of them.

To promote equality and diversity.

IDENTIFICATION BADGES:

CARE AND COMPASSION

As a Nurse, Allied Health Professional or Support Worker what you do and how you do it has a big impact on the quality of health care for people. Establishing effective relationships with people is absolutely essential to their sense of well-being and their attainment of the best possible health and clinical outcomes. It is this that makes the relationship ‘therapeutic’ that is, the relationship itself is a positive and proactive contribution to health and well-being. The best approach is therefore a simple one emphasising that an effective relationship begins with listening to the person and is based on mutuality, understanding and respect.

The basis of a good therapeutic relationship starts with being clear about people’s expectations.

Please go to the following link to find out more details on what the expectations people have of Nurses, Midwives, Allied Health Professionals and their Support Workers in NHS Lanarkshire.
