[Sue @Sue_Bowler4]

Think! Could your patients be switched from IV to PO Antibiotics. We
Sepsis, AMS and IPC nurses have been out on the wards asking our nurses that question and supporting them to use the #IVOS tool to #KeepAntibioticsWorking.

A new look for the trolley today by @NikalaJane and @mrs_eleff to optimise diagnostics, by improving the pre-analytical blood culture pathway. 4x 10ml blood 🩸collected and loaded within 4 hours saves lives. #WAAW2023

[Sue @Sue_Bowler4]

@castrocloud Looks good!

[Sue @Sue_Bowler4]

Our trolley is ready to take to the wards and promote the role of the nurse in IV 💉to oral 💊switch. #KeepAntibioticsWorking

[Sue @Sue_Bowler4]

@castrocloud Yes that’s fine!

[Sue @Sue_Bowler4]

Today for #WAAW23 our City vaccination hub see’s the return of the pledge hedge and promotion of #AntibioticGuardian. Flu and COVID vaccines not only prevent viral infections 🦠 but also ⬇️ the likelihood of secondary bacterial infections, so reduce antibiotic use 💊

A huge thank you to Amy York. She has been the driving force behind F22s success of podding specimen samples to the lab, rather than using urgent Porter requests when not needed. She has informed all drs to send Blood cultures via the pod @recogniserescue @ajosephnotts @F22Ward

[Nikala Jane @NikalaJane]

Thank you to the amazing @Haztab1 the new blood culture video is now being shown in all HCOP mandatory training. @recogniserescue @Sue_Bowler4 @ajosephnotts
