Now’s the time to order airway checklist cards for your August starters’ lanyards. Adult cards (@dasairway.Bsky.social /ICS / FICM / RCOA endorsed) - 38p Paediatric cards with drug and equipment dosing aids - 65p Make your safety checklists unforgettable. 🧠 #patientsafety

The checklist cards usually hang on the lanyard so they can’t be forgotten, and are carried by a whole team. But, some hospitals hang a single card on the emergency grab bag or pager. One card costing under £1, but one big impact.

The food shelves in our huge #NHS tertiary hospital. Been like this for 3 days. This is the only food outlet, since the main hospital canteen was permanently shut in favour of this @whsmithofficial.bsky.social /M&S portal. Pls sort NHS food&drink provision @wesstreeting.bsky.social

Matter of time until this type of bed design is cited in a failed intubation case report. A handy barrier keeping you a metre from your patient’s head - the disconnect between medical product design & end use is real.

Very interesting piece. The data is eye-opening, even if it does reflect what’s noticeable day to day.

I manage a ratio of 3 or 4 cupboard / drawer openings to obtain one piece of equipment at work. More if I’m in A&E or an unfamiliar theatre. Anyone aware of a time-motion study to produce a business case for “ergonomising” this madness? #humanfactors

What tools do people use for operational / performance debriefing (not psychological debrief) after emergency scenarios? Keen to see any aide memoirs / crib sheets used to guide structured team reflection. 🙏 #humanfactors #patientsafety

This “board game” initiative is such a smart way to develop “bigger picture” management of complex intensive care situations, for staff of all levels. 🧠 Nice one @hvh86.bsky.social !
