Never stop fighting for justice for Christopher Kapessa killed in 2019 by being pushed into a river

This could have happened to any of our children. Christopher’s family deserve peace.

Here is another useful resource to help us consider how we can support behaviour change in our patients;

[Nurse Education Cymru @GeekyNurses]

Todays topic is health promotion. How often do we support patients to change their lifestyle behaviours? Everyday? Motivational interviewing can make the process of change easier for the patient. #nurseskills #OARS #PatientCare

Many apologies all - we have been off the radar for around a week, as we are working very hard to create the NurseEducationCymru website! We will be back with great content tomorrow! #NurseTwitter #barewithus #knowledgeispower

[Nurse Education Cymru @GeekyNurses]

@mountgirl77 Yes, absolutely. Reading the situation is essential to our safety. There will of course be times when its safer to stay back and evaluate. Non verbal ques are top priority in violent situations - thanks for mentioning this.

[Nurse Education Cymru @GeekyNurses]

Good de-escalation skills and a non judgemental attitude is essential for managing violence in highly pressurised clinical areas. Learning and observing from those around you allows you to reflect on practice. Always call for support from colleagues if needed #NurseTwitter

[Michelle Morgan @toxiRGN]

This is a great article. We used to deal with lots of violence and aggression in my old role on a poisons unit - the first thing I was taught (many years ago) was how to de-escalate a situation. Not easy but comes with time and watching great nurses at work #learnfromthebest

[Unseen @UnseenUK]

Vulnerability to #modernslavery caused by #climatechange is a threat we can't ignore. This #WorldHumanitarianDay find out how these two crises for humanity are linked in a cycle of #exploitation & #environmental harm. See report from @Anti_Slavery https://t.co/QjFTMSJuku.

@BCUHBPALS Wonderful feedback 😀

[Nurse Education Cymru @GeekyNurses]

According to this research published by the BMJ "the majority of participants reported that they had not received sufficient training to assist individuals in situations of human trafficking" Do you agree? Do you feel adequately trained?

This is the modern slavery wheel, you can obtain it in poster format for your areas and departments and serves as a useful prompt https://t.co/BF1UUOQQRj #slaverywheel #stayeducated #keepingpatientssafe

[Nurse Education Cymru @GeekyNurses]

Todays topic, in line with recent events abroad, will be modern slavery and human trafficking. We need to know the signs and understand how to act in order to keep this patient group safe. The RCN covers the basics here; #trafficking #ProtectOurPatients

Cancer awareness day - know the signs and symptoms #cancerawareness #knowledgeispower #NurseTwitter

[Patient Safety Learning @ptsafetylearn]

News article on the hub - @AKPritchard2 urges people not to ignore the signs of cancer and to get checked out if symptoms emerge, such a cough or stomach pain that won't go away (via @BBCNews) https://t.co/NEukS3tbpq #patientsafety #cancer #pslhub

[Nurse Education Cymru @GeekyNurses]

@kj_hackett @NurseStandard @GreatOrmondSt @Gosh_Nursing @GOSHCharity @filipinonurseuk @fernandof1974 @NursesEquality An excellent idea @toxiRGN

[Nurse Education Cymru @GeekyNurses]

Be clear on blood in the urine;

The key message promoted was 'If you notice blood in your pee, even if it’s ‘just the once’, tell your doctor.' 

Any abnormal blood reported urine should be investigated. https://t.co/LxnWrwVTGV

[Nurse Education Cymru @GeekyNurses]

Our topic of the day today is cancer awareness. Would you say you'd be confident in recognising the signs and symptoms of cancer in your patients?
Early detection and recognition saves lives. Check on the "Be clear on cancer campaign" #CancerResearchUK

https://t.co/0hHEGNEheU

[Nurse Education Cymru @GeekyNurses]

Be clear on abdominal symptoms;

If you’ve been suffering from tummy troubles such as diarrhoea, bloating, discomfort for three weeks or more, it could be a sign of cancer.
