@melissa_rochon @CIRNetwork @cardiacssinet @SCTSUK @RickyVaja @magboo_rena Thanks Melissa. Would be interesting to map these to the implementation approach outlined in the @WHO manual written with surgical teams from different countries https://t.co/8HK3T9wC7S

Happening today: #NIHRN2R23 🧐

I can't wait to learn from experts in research and gain valuable insights. Let’s make #research everyone’s business! 🤓

Outpatient clinics are under pressure. Remote surgical wound monitoring avoided approx 70% of pts needing to travel to hospital for Wound reviews. No solution is perfect but surely this helps? Post-discharge 30 day ‘data only’ surveillance needs an overhaul!!

Anti-platelet resistance is prevalent in a significant proportion of patients who undergo coronary artery bypass grafting. There is a need for tailored antiplatelet strategies. Our manuscript in @AmJCardio provides an insight into this issue.

Important point! Post-discharge antibiotic use after surgery deserves more attention. ‼️

Shouldn’t #SSI #surveillance be looking into post-discharge antibiotic use for the surgical wounds & review opportunities to reduce? #AMR @Islavisualcare for patient reported SSI monitoring @GSTT_SSIPTeam @GSTTCharity and GSTT CITI thank you for your support #Innovate #Digital

Twitter friends undertaking post-discharge #SSI surveillance - what definitions are you using? Are you using the same criteria as for inpt/readmission SSI UKHSA 2013 protocol, PDS, or something different? #variation @lisabutcher9 @kennethmclean92 @lilian_chiwera @Anna52544219
