@ramiokasha @supportCHAS @RCNScot @howell_annabel @jenfrodgers Many thanks for your support Rami
Tonight was a great celebration of children’s nursing, and a terrific opportunity to showcase the work we do at CHAS. Thanks to Colin Pullman and RCN Scotland for the invite.

Why do infants feel pain far more intense than adults?

Why do they remember their unrelieved pain as children and adults?

Dr. Gary Walco answering these questions right now at #PedsPMC

I've just discovered 'Listen' is reduced on Amazon UK. I don't know how long this offer is for, but if you're Christmas shopping it's timely...
Of course, you could also buy from a local bookshop as your Good Deed for the day.
Thanks to everyone who has reviewed on line, too.

Brilliant session #PedsPMC with such an important message

[Stefan J. Friedrichsdorf, MD @NoNeedlessPain]

Dr. David Burns teaching #PedsPMC via "Princess Bride" the huge importance of regional anesthesia (nerve blocks, epidural infusion etc.) in treating and preventing pain in children. In 2021 your institution MUST have pediatric anesthesiologist trained in regional anesthesia

David Oliver: Detoxifying DNACPR decisions https://t.co/WqxuJatnNE

'If there’s any scandal, it should surely concern the failure to have had and documented these conversations and decisions, not the fact that we’ve had them.'

Well said, @mancunianmedic.

While we're talking about death & remembrance, can we include death & donation?
Tell your loved ones if you're willing to let your organs help somebody else after you die.

The organs are your gift to strangers.

The conversation is your gift to your loved ones.
