One of my favourite slides today at @ScotTraumaNwk Paediatric major trauma day today - Sarah Alexander’s perfect trauma team lead. An excellent event full of valuable learning & networking.

[PaediatricMTC @PaediatricMTC]

Major Incidents involving children:
- have an understanding of language used and communication pathways
- know our role/Action Card within our dept's action plan
- do as much 'normal' as possible but in an enhanced capacity
- documentation is everything

[PaediatricMTC @PaediatricMTC]

Jennifer Pyper, Bereavement Lead at RHCYP. Shared a powerful and humbling presentation from a parent of one of our PMTC patients. Words too profound for Twitter...Thank you for sharing.

[PaediatricMTC @PaediatricMTC]

George Henry, Head of Safety and Policy at @transcotland, outlining strategies to reduce fatalities and serious injuries on Scottish Roads by 50% by 2030, and the aspiration to have zero road deaths in Scotland by 2050.

Dr Sarah Alexander reflecting on trauma lead- managed to mention Superheros, Barbie, and cognitive overload! Not too "touchy feely"! @PaediatricMTC study day.

[Dave @DaveLBywater]

Demonstrating the Major Trauma app is @mark_j_lilley Using technology to improve communication and documentation during high stress incidents 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏥

[PaediatricMTC @PaediatricMTC]

Powerful story from one of our young trauma patients.

What matters to us: doing stuff and fixing things.

What matters to patients: fear, anxiety, frustration, missing family, friends, pets, being far from home, missing out on normal activities…

[Scottish Trauma Ntwk @ScotTraumaNwk]

Great to join our paediatric colleagues for their education and networking day.

Lovely to hear about some of the improvements that are happening in care for seriously injured children - cuddles matter!

It only takes 15 seconds for a toddler to lose consciousness, make sure your blind cords are secured or have safety clips fitted. #ChildSafetyWeek #safetysorted @CAPTcharity @childsafetyweek @RHCGlasgow @ScotTraumaNwk

Swallowing these toys can lead to requiring surgery as water beads continue to expand within the body. If you suspect your child has swallowed any seek medical advice immediately.
Keep water beads away from young children (https://t.co/PoSLdFLc6F). #childsafetyweek @CAPTcharity
