Chairs Report

As things settle down following the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic ADNE has spent the year working on a variety of work streams. Building on our experience during the pandemic the professional development meetings have now settled in a schedule which increases accessibility for members across the four countries, a virtual meeting in November and a hybrid meeting in June. Following on from the positive experience of the June 2022 meeting which took place at ARU we are continuing to hold the June meetings at a HEI with thanks to Queen Margaret’s University for hosting us this week. When planning the agenda’s, the executive makes every effort to ensure all four countries are represented and where possible a district nurse specialist practitioner qualification (DN SPQ) student is also asked to present. The November 2022 virtual attended by 150 people, 34 evaluations completed overall positive. Certificates of attendance were sent to all. The theme was real world research and evidencebased district nursing practice. Yesterday’s meeting included a range of presentations exploring health and social care delivery, what district nurses are doing, perspectives from the four countries and welcomed the NMC to discuss the 2022 NMC Post-registration Standards.

Two ADNE Extra events have been held since the last AGM. The January 2023 event focused on Future proofing DN SPQ and prescribing (V300) three program leaders and a Mott Macdonald reviewer presented at the meeting and shared their experience to support other members. In March 2023 five people attended a focus group for the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency consultation on how they communicate with professionals. The facilitator thanked ADNE for their involvement which had been very helpful. The next event is already planned for 26 September 2023, Family Mental Health will be delivering a webinar focusing on eating disorders which is free to access.

The education grants guidance and application process has been launched and is now available on the ADNE website to date there have been no applications. These grants are an important part of the ADNE work as a charity. In addition, UK district and community nursing health and social care policies and guidance documents have been added to the ADNE website. This has been supported by the vice Chairs for the four Countries of the UK who are members of the ADNE Executive. This should be a helpful resource for all and has been already signposted to book chapter authors for the Textbook of Community Nursing 3[rd] edition. This is edited by Heather Bain and Sue Chilton and many of the contributors are ADNE members.

ADNE have received inquiries regarding membership from Australia and New Zealand. This has been discussed by the executive and is an agenda item for the AGM today. Whilst ADNE is moving forward as a charity the executive has also been discussing the history of ADNE. I have had an initial conversation with Fiona Bourne, Archive Manager at the RCN regarding the ADNE records prior to the formation of the Charity. The RCN Archive has a remit to collect the papers of nursing staff and nursing organisations – even if they are outside the RCN. There is an interest in the ADNE archives, for example evidential records, the function of the organisation and records of events. This could also include oral histories and testaments. If any members have items of interest, please do let the executive know.

The executive has also approached Olivia Coleman’s agents to ask if she will consider being a Patron for ADNE. We have approached her as her mother was a district nurse in Norfolk and Olivia has previously talked fondly of her memories of going on her rounds with her mother. 5

ADNE has also worked with external stakeholders on the following work streams. The Queen’s Nursing Institute (QNI) 2023 Standards of Education and Practice for Community Practice Teaching as well as contributing to the development of the QNI DN SPQ Field specific standards. ADNE was also involved in discussions with Health Education England (HEE) regarding the potential for credentialling Advanced Clinical Practice with the Centre for Advancing Practice. As part of these discussions ADNE responded regarding the current structure of programs highlighting the advanced practice components of programs. This work is currently on hold following the merger of HEE with NHSE&I to become NHS England. The plans that had been put forward by HEE for tendering for DN SPQ are also on hold following merger. The National Community Nursing Plan (England) Stakeholder Advisory Panel is no longer meeting. However, because of ADNE representation on the panel it has been possible to share the monthly updates re community nursing in England with England members. In addition, ADNE continue to work with Steph Lawrence, the trail blazer lead for the DN apprenticeship standards which are under review following publication of the NMC (2022) Postregistration Standards. As can be seen from this Chair’s report it has been another busy year for ADNE as the charity continues to develop and engage with key stakeholders. I would like to thank everyone, particularly the executive, for their support during my tenure as Chair and wish the new Chair and the executive every success as the ADNE moves forward.
