@cesear90@RBandH@ICU_Harefield Hi Charlotte, I would love to know what you cover in this. Is this a mandatory or routine training session or is it a one off about something specific?
More fantastic engagement for Opioid Safety Week. We're getting a variety of staff showing interest and learning new things. If you're based at the Freeman Hospital, find us at the canteen 11am-1pm Thursday and Friday this week. #OpioidSafety#OpioidsAware
Jenny and Aiden have been at the Opioid Safety Week stand in the canteen at the Freeman Hospital today. We had great representation from @NuTHPharm and the pain service. Visit us 11am-1pm Monday -Friday this week to play opioid safety games and get resources for your department.
@ward38_freeman@25_NUTH@Ward30ct, what do you guys think of this for patients with chest drains to help reduce pain? Is this something we could incorporate? Let me know what you think
@Kat15A It is very effective to reduce movement of the intercostal drains and the rubbing against the periosteum and the neuraxial bundle. 10x10 sterile gauze folded in half. Then Mefix over the lot to secure to chest wall.
Looking for guidance for ward nurses on using folded gauze/dressings to support chest drains to help reduce pain. @FeliciaJCox do you have any info or images on this? I remember seeing something like this from you before.
This has been a great price of work collaborating among the multidisciplinary team to improve outcomes for our patients and standardise practice. Well done team!

🌟 The ‘Engage to improve’ priority in our NMAHP Strategy means fully inclusive participation with patients & staff. This award-winning example has reaped amazing results on @ward38_freeman halving hospital length of stay for kidney transplant patients 💫 https://t.co/LOgbe4vStj
