We need to stop thinking that addicts and alcoholics in recovery are bad people trying to get good. We need to start thinking that they’re sick people trying to get well.
🎉ITS ALCOHOL AWARENESS WEEK!! 🎉
The Alcohol Liaison Team are in The Royal every lunchtime this week to speak all things alcohol. We look forward to having a chat with staff and visitors, so please come and say Hi!
@drkeithsiau What beautiful words Dr Siau, I’ve spent the last few days speechless. Chris was such an incredible man and It’s been an absolute joy to work with him for almost a decade. He’s always been such a huge advocate for our patients and I feel privileged to have called him a friend.
We've had specialist nurses from @RCHTWeCare visit Harbour today for our health check day 🧑⚕️ They've been offering liver scans that are quick, non-invasive and give fast results. Looking after your liver is so important, and we're very grateful to have this service visit today ⬇️
Today, we hosted a blood-borne virus (BBV) testing and liver screening day at Harbour Housing! 🩺 Events like this are so important as they give residents regular access to healthcare services and the opportunity to seek expert advice and support. 👩⚕️
Assistance dogs are helping young people go to medical appointments and, in a first for @RCHTWeCare and perhaps the country, assistance dog Raffie was allowed in the recovery room to calm her owner after an op.
More with @dundonradio and let him know why your pets are so special
Dear British Press,
There is nothing in Prince Harry’s autobiography as scandalous as the implosion of our NHS.
So please report on the things which are actually important
Thanks
Rob (a non spare a&e Dr)

'It's a privilege to help people who don't know change is possible.'
Specialist Nurse Hannah from @RCHTWeCare helps patients reduce their alcohol intake. It's expected that alcohol care teams will help prevent up to 50,000 admissions a year from 2023/24. https://t.co/6cBcNDf8BJ

We’re running low on sleeping bags at the moment. As the temperature drops this autumn it’s important that we keep those who have to sleep outdoors as warm and dry as possible. If you have an old sleeping bag you don’t need any more then we’d love to have it. 🧵
Today we held a liver screening and blood-borne virus testing day at Harbour Housing! A HUGE thank you to the fantastic agencies that came in and helped us put on the event for residents ⬇️
Becky and Toni from @RCHTWeCare came to our BBV event at Harbour today and offered liver scans to service users and staff 🧑⚕️ This non-invasive screening is a way of assessing the liver's health, and over 25 residents chose to have a scan. ⬇️
Lovely end to #AlcoholAwarenessWeek at @RCHTWeCare with @AddactionCornwa . Thank you to all those who have popped over to say hello and taken advice. Until next year...
