Welcome to the home of Nightingales Army, you have made the first steps in “actively raising the standard of care” here you can find all the guidance and information you need to cover all aspects and requirements of care.

Nightingales Army are here to ensure health care assistants are supported, listened to, valued, competently trained, guided and retained in their chosen area. Educating them on their rights and understanding correct working policies and procedures. Not to step out of their job role and put themselves and service user at risk of suffering determent or their safety. Encouraging health care assistants to speak up with confidence. This will contribute to actively raising the standard of care.  

Nightingales Army are here to ensure that the public are aware of the current issues and to guide them when choosing a care provider for themselves or a loved one. To be aware of what is needed to be able to receive a high standard of care that care providers are promoting. It is not about the fittings and fixtures that are being advertised. It is about the quality of care that is being provided. The first step to achieving this is to raise awareness. 

Nightingales Army are here to support our NHS, we wish to highlight where money is being wasted and accidents are happening within the health and social care sector which could be avoided by providing the correct training and guidance which actively reflects the job role that health care assistants are undertaking. Contributing to relieving the NHS of pressure and making our community’s safer. This is not something that can be achieved by one individual but by uniting together to actively raise the standard of care, we can achieve this.

Even more so in this time of COVID-19, when the public profile and appreciation of Healthcare Assistants has never been so great – often working with minimal PPE, and even paying with their lives on the frontline in their commitment to continue delivering care to the most vulnerable in our care homes and communities.
