This is such positive news ๐. My hope is that it continues to rise to support more care being delivered in patient own homes. @nhs_scft @juliafairhall3@holliejp@lisaohara15
@braemar88 This is so encouraging - it's exactly what Emma has been piloting in Arundel and hopefully you'll be trying soon in Crawley. It's always uplifting to hear others have a similar idea. Lets keep on pushing this agenda - I'm sure we are on the right path.
I love the power of an MDT.
Some of my @nhs_scft pharmacist colleagues are helping me develop additional training in deprescribing and SMRs for our inpatient medical team. Their knowledge is immense! One great tip I wanted to share: the Scottish polypharmacy guidance and app
I'm glad I admitted my concerns about polypharmacy but it upset one reader who interpreted it as my confessing to killing people! Not what I meant, of course. I should have said INAPPROPRIATE polypharmacy kills. The data on unnecessary complications is what's scary, not me!
#polypharmacy kills, especially in the elderly.
It worries me.
I'm hurting people.
I want to deprescribe but it doesn't seem to ever get to the top of the horrendous to-do list.
The SMR DES doesn't magic up time, staff, headspace etc.
Anyone got any solutions to share?
Brilliant blog from our very own @juliafairhall3 on the importance of keeping patients connected to their loved ones to help their recovery and wellbeing @nhs_scft #stayingconnected
@braemar88 @nhs_scft @CNOEngland Well done guys. Yet again, you set a great example
My son says that vaccination nurses are trained ninjas so you don't feel a thing after his flu jab. Now he's telling his friends not to be scared of next week's HPV jab. They might be expecting black outfits...
An inspiring lady reminded me today of a truth I'd forgotten
To be happy, live by your values
Work you feel good about fills your tank, no matter how difficult. Life is short and we spend much of it working. A job that aligns to our values is the lottery win!
I guess it's sad that we need a safe place to speak up, but we're all human and both make mistakes and feel fear of highlighting them. I find it comforting that everyone has someone to talk to
Good morning @nhs_scft on the 1st day of Speak Up Month 2020 with the #SpeakupABC
A is for Anonymous - did you know you can contact a #FTSU guardian like me or an ambassador anonymously if you need to? Weโre more interested in what you are saying, than who is saying it ..
@christheowl Do washable straws exist? Ive been on the look out for a metal straw which I can dishwash with my cutlery. Maybe cafรฉs and restaurants eventually could have them with the knives and forks to subtly use if you want or need to
