An afternoon of education and shared practice with the East Lancashire Hospitals NHS Trust 💙 AHP team around all things tracheostomy: ➖Tracheostomy acute weaning ➖Complex wean case examples ➖Cuff deflation challenges ➖Tracheostomy tube changes

Huge thanks to Emily Davies-Veric (she/her) 💙 for her fantastic presentation on Tracheostomy SLT service delivery in Critical Care The Royal Wolverhampton NHS Trust 🏥 as part of the National Tracheostomy Network service improvement webinar series. Great development and showcasing of the importance of SLT 👏🏻

Hugely insightful presentation from Leanne about neuro-rehab provision to trauma pts at UHNM NHS Trust 🏥 … something for us all to aspire to! Often these pts need coordinated neuro rehab to achieve decannulation but usually can’t access on acute wards 👏🏻

Thanks to Danielle Worsley for presenting the fantastic work her and Zoe Sherlock have achieved in their Tracheostomy Practitioner role at University Hospital Southampton 💙 .. Take home: what are the current challenges and work from there!

Come and join our small, friendly team for lots of opportunities for development of advanced clinical skills, research and autonomous working! Mon-Fri 9-5 for 12-months with potential to extend further. Any questions, just ask!

Fantastic presentation from Carol Smith as part of the Tracheostomy National Network webinar series discussing her recent Office of the Chief Executive NHSScotland internship looking at improving tracheostomy care across Lanarkshire. Huge impact achieved and inspiring to hear Carol’s future goals 👏🏻

One of the many reasons I love my job ❤️ Gate crashing the pet safari therapy visits at the care home to meet the beautiful Kiwi who wanted nothing more than a good head scratch 🦜

It has been incredible to see Zey grow + shape her role to meet the needs of pts across Lancs + S.Cumbria as the first “Tracheostomy Specialist Therapy Assistant” - the appreciation + respect she receives from patients on a daily basis reflects the true impact she has ⭐️⭐️

Looking forward to this Thursday’s National Tracheostomy Network webinar series as we open discussions around “Palliative Tracheostomy Decannulation” and share practice, experiences and view points. Email [email protected] to join ✅ 🗣

Lots of food for thought in today's webinar by the National tracheostomy Network around Palliative decannulation. If we extubate for EOL should we be decannulating for EOL aswell. #trache #EOLcare #foodforethought

Boot is finally emptied of all tracheostomy tubes and stethoscope hung up as I sign off for the next 7-months and start my new adventure / job 👶🏻🤰🏻 Ready to pop but I’ll miss Kelly Youd, Lee Hughes, Zey + Vanya Houlgreave - looking forward to seeing their amazing work continue!
