Nurses save lives.

I see this all the time in the ICU.

It's a curious thing - both obvious, yet also frequently overlooked.

🙏Thank you for everything that you do.

Be careful out there over the Easter break.
If you’re going to use substances, remember to start low, go slow and never alone.
There are potent ecstasy tablets out there. Be careful.
Here is a Health warning from NSW.

It’s 8 days until #NSWVotes.

Fix #8 from the ramping inquiry is to have more hospital pharmacists available more often, so patients get healthier, faster.

We know how to treat ramping. Politicians must commit to the fixes. NSW can’t wait any more. https://t.co/I5UgfbOiJl

Having EM pharmacists as part of the team caring for patients on arrival in the ED improves efficiency and medication safety! There is increasing evidence to support the benefits of pharmacists working in the ED. @the_shpa @MonashPharm @EmergEdu @ASHP_EMPharm @acemonline

@jackccollins @PSA_National Congratulations 🎉

[Amy Thomson @amybthomson1]

Regular polypharmacy call with small throw away “they also poured petrol on their car and set it on 🔥”. Umm maybe we should address this too?

[Amy Thomson @amybthomson1]

@cliffreid Tiny numbers = limited ability to detect harm. Very optimistic conclusion. 🙃

EM pharmacists such as @CristinaGhijben @dianagoubrial @gailedwards86 are essential members of the emergency services team- improving safety and care for a wide range of patients. @EmergEdu @AlfredHealth @SaferCareVic

[Mathieu Desgroseilliers @matdesgro]

Having a clinical critical care pharmacist in the team is always a good idea 👍

"How many scoops of gelato was it??"

@EMPoisonPharmD 1st Feb is probably fine too 😂. Part way through 11 day stretch. Chaotic mix of earlies, evenings and overnights. 😅 Laying on the floor is my current coping strategy. Can’t thank my partner enough for making sure I eat.

[Derek Collings-Hughes @DCollingsHughes]

@jackgedge @EmergencyBod Why do people present to unscheduled health services for 'issues that are month old'?

Could it be they just don't care and want to "abuse" the system?

Or does it relate to access, difficultly in navigating health services and acute distress of a chronic problem?
