A sad state of affairs when #corridorcare has been normalised, bed space numbers even put on the walls. No privacy, no dignity and even less chance of sleep @NNUH@Steffanaquarone
@drclairetaylor @ShaunLintern That is utterly crazy and just rude and arrogant on their part. It is all about power, much more beneficial working with parents than being hideous
@drclairetaylor @ShaunLintern Hopefully a new team will be helpful. 1 cons wrote to tertiary hosp to say nothing wrong with my child, I had moved care to another hosp and basically I was the problem. They had missed huge diagnoses, the move was in best interests of child. New team were fab so 🤞 for you
@drclairetaylor @ShaunLintern The person who listened most was the most junior member of staff, the registrar minimised everything,dismissed my concerns and effectively put my child at greater risk by insisting on fluid challenge which caused vomiting, she has unsafe swallow.
@drclairetaylor @ShaunLintern It’s crazy, symptoms exac same, vom even 30ml/hr fluid, sister diagnosed with strep a and gave antibiotics but wouldn’t listen. So sick no fight when cannulated, usually takes 5 people. I fear for her life. It’s happened several times, it’s a lotto who you get
@drclairetaylor @ShaunLintern Ive had similar experiences, my daughter has been big sick with Strep A several times. CRP >150, vomiting, very abnormal obs. Explain concerns as symptoms exactly same, told GI bug, for fluid chall. It’s terrifying,extremely glad shift changed and new dr listened
@kiityc@DrSdeG@ShaunLintern It is so hard, I have complex kiddos, I don’t take them to hospital unless I have tried everything I can at home, fluid challenge etc. I haven’t been wrong when concerned.Told GI bug and was strep A with crp 200, prof not listening and minimising puts kids at huge risk
Almost one out of every eight phone calls made under the Martha's Rule scheme has led to a potentially life-saving change of treatment, NHS England has revealed.
Merope Mills, whose daughter Martha died from sepsis in 2021, tells #R4Today it's clear the policy can 'save lives'.
People who have Down’s syndrome have the right to have reasonable adjustments made in health and care settings.

@DeborahIsitt Well deserved, it’s brilliant 🤩 my youngest is watching “dude where’s my donkey?” on repeat and belting out the songs. All the Nativity films bring so much joy every year
