I absolutely love this, fantastic for ICU and neurodivergent patients but applicable to any patient in any clinical area. When we know what each alarm is, what each hiss is, and what each abbreviation is we forget how terrifying each one can be for those who don’t know! 👏🏼👏🏼

Thankful to ‘Bedfordshire Health and Care Academy’ for their invitation to reflect on my professional practise & share the passion with CYP in schools to help inspire next generation in pursuing a career in health care sector. #NHSAmbassador #SchoolCareerStall #ChoosePaediatrics
