[Neurosciences, RIE @DCNNeuro]

Our two superstar deputy charge nurses are flying the nest and we couldn’t be prouder. Kim is starting her health visitor training and @02michellec her ANP training with @han_rie1. We are going to miss you both but our loss is definitely their gain!

@Lorna57044152 @broxburnacademy Oh well done!

[Pharmacopalliation @pharmacopallia]

Remember pain and the ability to tolerate opioids are entwined and giving patients "round the clock" opioids in the absence of pain increases the likelihood of toxicity.

Consequently, predictable incident pain is often best treated with pre-emptive "when required" pain relief.

This applies to a lot of more people than they realise. Unfortunately not everyone is aware how wonderful they are. Not all heroes wear capes.
