Our new paper out in @ADC_BMJ by @chrischirp@SarahESeaton exploring how mathematical modelling can help in deciding where specialist ambulances should be based to reach as many sick children as possible as quickly as possible https://t.co/xiYB9X7Jc3
Scam calls have started pretending to be test & trace. They say you're a contact, need a test and that you need to pay £50 for home test. Test and trace will never ask you for money! Please let any particularly vulnerable people know (I will be telling my parents)
Thank you to the whole UK #PedsICU community on their collaboration in creating this paper https://t.co/FgbVm1VlWj on #PIMSTS, especially @pic_pram, @BarneyUoB, @PICJournalWatch, @ClaireE77907206 and many others. Shows what we can do together. https://t.co/44M1qs0Csg
Great @DEPICT_Study project meeting today with @pic_pram - saw parent experience results for first time. A treasure trove of info that will us help understand emergency retrieval services and what makes them good. So impressed.
Last parent interview completed today - thank you to all who participated, hearing about your experiences in your own words is invaluable. #DEPICT_families
Just one week left until the parent and carer questionnaire feedback study closes. We want to thank all the families who have participated, and we also give thanks to the PICU teams who made that possible. Looking forward to sharing the results with you all. #DEPICT_Study
At Euston station this morning waiting to board a train...visiting a family who have kindly agreed to talk about their experience of being transferred to PICU #DEPICT_families
At King’s Cross station waiting to board train (alas not to Hogwarts)... meeting a family today to hear about their experiences of being transferred to PICU. Always very thankful to those who share their stories with us, be it by questionnaire or in person. #DEPICT_families
Numbers update: we have received over 1500 questionnaires from parents telling us about their transport experience. Thank you to families for participating and to the teams who have helped make that possible. As we enter the busy winter period let’s keep going! #depict_team
On the train today en route to meeting families -to talk about what it’s like to need and use the paediatric intensive care retrieval services #DEPICT_families
Did you know.... paediatric retrieval teams across the country transfer approximately 5000 children every year, from general hospitals to Paediatric Intensive Care Units, mainly by road, sometimes by air! 🚑🚑🚑🚑🚑🚁🚁
6mnths in to the 1 year questionnaire study and we already have over 1,400 families taking part. Thank you to the research teams working in the 24 paediatric intensive care units -you are all awesome! #DEPICT_Study_Teamwork
