Critical care OTs..: this is your chance to comment on the new AHP Critical Care Capability Framework…
The new Allied Health Professions (AHP) Critical Care Capability framework is now out for public consultation, and we want you to have your say!
Consultation is open until 21 May, and all feedback can be given directly at bit.ly/AHPFramework.

Kelleher + Van Dijk + Konate = Colossi. No matter what happens now it’s been quite the effort. #CHELIV #CarabaoCupFinal #LFC #YNWA – at Margate, England

‘An expansion of prescribing responsibilities for OTs would secure better support and more timely care to patients’ @RCOT__Karin
We're calling on @SteveBarclay to extend prescribing responsibilities to AHPs.

Plus it looks like @SteveBarclay is certainly open to the proposal, based on his recent words over the weekend about others.
Our professions are perfectly placed to make the most of this! #PrescribingNow

We’re modernising out of date regulatory legislation to harness the full potential of healthcare roles and improve care for patients.
This could also open the door to expand prescribing powers to more staff to free up GPs and improve access to services. telegraph.co.uk/news/2023/02…

19 hours in an ED so far (not to be named) with Mum who has a suspected PE. No blankets, pillows or drinks. 6 hours wait for an ECG despite chest pain presentation. The staff are doing their best but don’t stand a chance, it’s sad.

🚨NEW BGS REPORT🚨 This new report explores the potential benefits, limitations, and current evidence to be considered when providing a safe, effective and person-centred alternative to hospital inpatient care for older adults. #BGSVirtualWards bgs.org.uk/ImplementingVirtu…
3/3 The most encouraging part is that there are so many of us who get what a significant issue this is and if we keep pushing on then surely we can start to make a difference? #endpjparalysis #deconditioning #hopitalrelatedfunctionaldecline
2/2 What is clear from the replies I’ve had and the messages (and what I’m discovering from my dissertation) is that this is a pressing problem which isn’t going away. It will take culture change and ongoing education of the whole MDT and education for patients and carers.
1/2 Since tweeting this my inbox is full@of examples from HCPs who’s loved ones have gone through similar experience. What I want to say is that this instance does not relate to a poorly / understaffed unit, nor was it a nurse who said this - it was another member of the team
Writing my dissertation on hospital acquired functional decline / deconditioning and find out today that my Dad has been told he’s “not safe” to get out of bed as there’s “too much paperwork” if he falls #nowords
