Myself and my amazing nhs and GP colleagues and friends are being asked to risk our safety and that of our families and go to work.
You are being asked to STAY. AT. HOME.
Both of these actions will save lives.
We all have our part to play.
#StayHome #COVIDー19

“We are asking retired healthcare professionals to come back to help the NHS to cope”

The over 65’s who are at increased risk of covid complications? Who have lapsed their professional registrations?

I am unconvinced you have thought this plan through Mr Johnson...

Empathy in vascular access: the human technology. Always remember the person at the end of the line #wocova18 #accpcpd @GJCriticalCare

[jen wilson @jen20064755]

We’ve been using the ZIM for a long time for peripheral access, away from areas of flexion to avoid catheter pistoning and reduce CRBI. So why do we still place arterial lines at the wrist or elbow?is it time we reconsidered where we place arterial lines #WoCoVa18 #ACCPCPD

At last!!🙌 this is a very useful amendment to the product #wocova18 #ACCPCPD https://t.co/OqEJpQtSSs

Exciting to see a new PICC line that can be cut post insertion to prevent long external lengths if it has to be pulled back after tip confirmation by X-ray @vygonuk #WoCoVa18

[Jenny Kitzinger @JennyKitzinger]

"Resilience" at work?
Think about the team, not just the individual - and resilience as the ability to 'bounce back' not resilience to take a thumping. @DrJulie_H @WelshICS https://t.co/GEHU9mo92E

[Jenniferth Aviles @HUHOPAT_VA]

Over 1 in 3 patients’ IV device fails, securement is so important to prevent treatment disruption and improve patient safety and satisfaction #WoCoVa18

[jen wilson @jen20064755]

Vascular catheter size to vessel diameter is important to allow collateral flow and reduce thrombotic risk. Measure vessel diameter prior to tourniquet application to assess suitability for indwelling catheters #WoCoVa18 #ACCPCPD

[jen wilson @jen20064755]

Reducing errors in vascular access in 3 steps:
Avoid, trap, mitigate!
If in doubt, DON’T take it out!!seek specialist help for damage limitation #wocova18 #ACCPCPD

[jen wilson @jen20064755]

Excellent Mid-line insertion demonstration.suitable for <29days duration, no need for X-rays. Stop and consider as option, is central end point really necessary?right line, right time, right patient #vygon #wocova18 @LindajKelly277

“The patient in British guidelines” world congress on vascular access in Copenhagen...we have a difficult airway society, do we need a difficult vein access society? #WOCOVA2018

[Simon McCormick @DrSimonMc]

If hospital staff do the wrong thing, telling them to do the right thing more or telling them louder is unlikely to help.

Instead, try to understand why they made that wrong choice and then make it easier for them to make the right one next time.

Bad choices - not bad people.

@LennaBusher @AdvPracticeSU @FICMNews @accpnr Needs to be said more often :)

[jen wilson @jen20064755]

Staff are the most valuable resource in the NHS. Look after yourself, look after each other in order to look after our patients #burnout #accp thank you @FICMNews @accpnr for letting me present my findings #NAACCP18 https://t.co/linr9r0Z5W

[ACCP Northern Region @accpnr]

Very interesting outcomes from Jennifer Wilson of @ScotACCPs at #NAACCP18 conference;

⬆️Job satisfaction = ⬇️ risk of #burnout

[jen wilson @jen20064755]

Think this is a lovely thing to do to honour the person and give staff time to reflect and debrief https://t.co/J1VHZ8mgHU

[Dr Geeta Mehta 🇨🇦 @geetamehta0]

The ICU team is starting to use ‘The Pause’ following the death of a patient @MountSinai.

To honour a person and recognize their life.

The pause can be led by any member of the interdisciplinary ICU team. When possible, in the presence of the patient’s loved ones.

[jen wilson @jen20064755]

@drandrewmackay @ScotACCPs @qeuhccm @ScotTraumaNwk @NHSGGC @accpuk Seems a shame not to open job advert up to AHPs too as per FICM standards?

[jen wilson @jen20064755]

Strong statistically significant link found. ⬆️job satisfaction= ⬇️ risk of #burnout=⬆️patient safety. Now we can target that for improvement. Time to care for our staff too #accp #nhs @FICMNews @accpuk @ScotACCPs #NAACCP18
