I wish ODPs were allowed to work in areas outside of theatre in every organisation. Some trusts are great at being able to see the expertise that ODPs have to offer in other areas, whilst some trusts still only offer these roles to nurses.
I have had the privilege to do value stream mapping and observation work in the Accident & Emergency department at QEQM this week. I have met very hardworking staff, who manage high volumes of people coming through their doors 24/7. Keep up the good work. @EKHUFT@SusanAcott

Well done to our team on Kings D ward who have seen a reduction in falls since we have started our #WeCare programme.
Take a look at what we've been doing as part of our improvement journey to reduce falls in our hospitals.
Great work everyone! 👏
Well done to all those involved in making the hospital out of hours service happen across the Trust. We could not have done it without using the methodology and support of the Trusts “We Care” improvement system @EKHUFT @ClinicalGsm @EKHUFTkentway@SimiH1979@MaycockN@SusanAcott
It is so great when staff attend the We care KENT Fundamentals course, bringing with them their problem statement and by the end of the day completing their very own A3 ready to share with their teams @EKHUFT@EKHUFTkentway @VPurday @SusanAcott@MaycockN@SimiH1979 @ClinicalGsm
I just love ending another week with a KENT We care Fundamentals course. Seeing staff connecting the A3 with their improvement work is just magic @MaycockN@EKHUFT@EKHUFTkentway ClinicalGsm @SusanAcott @VPurday
Today we want to take a moment to reflect and remember.

@CollegeODP@alan_mount@The_HCPC It’s about time, ODP’s are recognised for their multi skilled work within the NHS. They adapted so much in their work during COVID 👏👏👏👏
Children’s diabetes nurse Jade Clark knows just how her young patients feel after being told they have diabetes – she was given the same life-changing news aged just 10.
Now she uses her experience to help others learn to manage the condition.
