Absolutely brilliant speech by Barbados PM Mia Mottley at #COP26  If you only have time to listen to one COP26 speech - this is the one!

Just as atropine fell off the cardiac arrest algorithm, TXA stopped being invited to the UGIB party, & remdesivir suffered her public fall from grace, hydrocortisone is no longer recommended for managing anaphylaxis. Farewell, hydrocortisone. We’ll always have COPD.

Nurses in the Gastro ward asked for an overview of alcohol withdrawal this month. We are lucky in NHS AAA to have aamaws/gmaws charts that provide an easy way to assess and treat. #newpens #loveapic #gastroteaching #alcoholwithdrawal Advanced Practice NHS Ayrshire and Arran

Love this ... only thing I would say is try and adapt some of it to make relevant for your own team irrespective of role . Nurse , Dr, Ahp, domestic, manager , porter everyone . Life is hard and most probably about to get a bit harder again . Look after ourself and be kind .

Trying to avoid a +ve PCR before Christmas whilst working in healthcare is some sport, eh?

We talk about being caring and respectful but this is normally focused on patients, how about we extend that and ask one of our colleagues.... how you doing? R u ok ? It goes such a long way.... let's look after each other as well as we look after our patients and service users

👏 Stop 👏 leaving 👏 the 👏 most 👏 complex 👏 escalation 👏 decisions 👏 to 👏 your 👏 notoriously 👏 well-staffed 👏 night 👏 colleagues 👏 when 👏 they 👏 are 👏 clearly 👏 deteriorating (&if you have to, give them a heads up) You are not making it easier for your patient

What a simple but great idea to get out to people. There's scope for adding prompts to access wellbeing services, some mindfulness and relaxation tools....of course the treats would need to stay 🍎🍫 @AndyGillies9 Julie Hannah
