The encompass countdown to GO-LIVE is on! ⌛
encompass, our regional digital transformation, will introduce a new digital health record for everyone in Northern Ireland.
Let's meet the professional and operational team behind the transformation in the South Eastern Trust👇
The Department of Health has announced a public consultation to inform an updated #Autism Strategy to be published in the spring. We want to know more about what life is like for autistic people, their families and carers

“Remember that you are replaceable in your job. You are not replaceable as a wife, husband, father, mother, daughter, son, or friend. Put on your own oxygen mask first and give yourself and your colleagues permission to take the time you deserve to recover.” From article in BMJ
We are proud to be the FIRST Health Trust in NI to GO-LIVE with encompass on 9th November 2023 💻
This new digital system means everyone will eventually have 1⃣ health record, reducing the need for info to be stored on multiple, ageing systems & on paper.
It's a game changer!
Anyway, last week’s release of the second batch of 2021 Census Data for Northern Ireland means that we now, for the first time *ever*, have an actual number for how many Autistic People (both children and adults) currently reside in NI. [thread]

@nialldowney@GildernewColm@RobinSwannMoH@healthdpt@niahealth@roinnslainte @DonnellyStephen @IHCA_IE Education & courses don’t change culture. This is critical. Recent news in (NI) highlights how large organisations can have lots of micro-cultures within senior teams at department / service level that subvert safety. Despite excellent C-Suite leaders.
Belfast Trust has launched the Paediatric Symptom Checker, an online tool developed by Doctors and Nurses to provide trusted advice to parents across Northern Ireland.

@mrssanddune @gardner_bea My childhood optician used to tell me he could see chocolate I'd eaten and the boy I liked at the back of my eyes and I never knew how he knew! Now I find lots of dinosaurs, frogs, broccoli etc in kids ears, gummy bears on chest auscultation, sausages in tummies...
Fantastic to see more examples how how #Genomics is transforming patient care. This non-invasive pre-natal diagnosis for retinoblastoma rolled out by @NHSEngland will help with earlier diagnoses, faster treatment and help families prepare.

@mydorisday@M_KingsleyGP@healthdpt They were def involved from the start. They have separate funding from the hospitals etc so its up to them to buy into it really, but it's a harder sell when GPs already have computerised systems with features secondary care have been dreaming of.
