Introducing The Cygnet Journal! 📖 It's the first of the month, and we're excited to present the first-ever edition of The Cygnet Journal. This journal showcases our research, quality improvement (QI) projects, innovations, opinion pieces, and experience articles. As a peer-reviewed journal, it also aims to welcome discussions and special interest pieces from Cygnet colleagues. We plan to make this a yearly or bi-yearly publication, and hope that our second edition will encourage contributions from service users, carers, as well as colleagues from other disciplines. This will make it a truly collaborative publication that represents the views of everyone involved with Cygnet.

South Asian Heritage Month runs from 18 July to 17 August. It seeks to commemorate, mark, and celebrate South Asian cultures and histories, particularly the intertwined histories of the UK and South Asian communities, and how South Asian cultures are present throughout the UK. As South Asian Heritage Month draws to a close for 2024, we feel we cannot let the month end without sharing our latest blog from Poonam, our Lead Physiotherapist at Cygnet Brunel in Bristol. Poonam shares her experience of moving to the UK from India to join team Cygnet. Check out Poonam’s inspirational story below. Here at Cygnet, we’re incredibly proud of our globally diverse team, all working together to help improve the lives of the people in our care every single day. We celebrate diversity because different people, with different perspectives, make Cygnet a better healthcare and social care provider. Our service users, our residents, and our young people are incredibly diverse, so we should be too. That’s why we’re working hard to build an inclusive culture where people can be themselves, whoever they are, wherever they’re from.

As May comes to an end, so does Mental Health Awareness Month. We want to highlight the rewarding careers available in mental healthcare and social care. At Cygnet, you can join us as a mental health nurse or as a support worker/healthcare assistant. These roles involve various duties, such as engaging with patients and service users, participating in therapy sessions, and maintaining records. While nurses need specific qualifications, support workers need care experience, a DBS check, and ideally an NVQ level 2 or 3 in health and social care. There are ample opportunities for career development and specialisation in areas such as psychology, eating disorders, or substance misuse. Working in mental health requires resilience, empathy, and effective communication skills. It can be demanding but also highly rewarding. If you're passionate about making a difference, consider a career in mental health with us here at Cygnet.
