Joint Committee On Health

Resourcing and the Provision of Services at the Linn Dara CAMHS Unit: Discussion

Mr. Kevin Brady:

We also have Schwartz rounds whereby staff throughout the CHO attend debriefing sessions with colleagues. It is very therapeutic and a good reflective practice for staff. It is important there is protected time for this reflective practice in Linn Dara given the staff's significantly challenging working environment.

It is not easy work but, as I said, they have the buddy system. They are very much supported from a senior staff perspective because it is not only about recruitment but about retaining those staff. If we create that environment and we build on it, we will see the fruits of that labour the director of nursing and the senior nursing management staff are putting in and in which we are investing.
