I am looking forward to talking at this conference today with @hcuknews.bsky.social It's important to keep sharing experiences & to continue raising awareness,especially as I'm now also a patient safety partner volunteer! @uhpnhs.bsky.social @patientsafetylearning.org @chrisgrahamuk.bsky.social

A tricky volunteer shift today but overwhelmingly made better by taking a long stay patient to the garden. We shared our love of big band music, I told him about my saxophone, and we listened to the BBC big band on my Spotify. It was quite perfect 🥰 Happy Friday all.... @tantamkate.bsky.social

Oof - and yet who among us is surprised!! When will it be time to actually fund rehabilitation properly? @tantamkate.bsky.social #SOA25

🌅 What a way to start Day 2 of #SOA25! A huge thank you to everyone who took part in this morning’s 5K Fun Run – an energetic and inspiring start to the day 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️💨 Delegates are now refreshed, refuelled, and ready for another packed programme exploring the future of intensive care. Let’s go! 👏

Her biggest lesson for the critical care community? “Look beyond the patient” Think about their support networks, their environment… The things that make their life worth living. #soa25

'Rehab is key not just to good recovery but to prevention of future demand on the NHS.' 👏 Health Secretary Wes Streeting highlighted the importance of rehabilitation in making the NHS work, following the launch of healthcare reforms and a social care commission in England this week.

@carsueb.bsky.social Hello! 👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋

♥️ To provide compassionate care for people with delirium we need to: ➡️ detect & document it formally ➡️ communicate the Dx to pt & carers ➡️ alongside treating triggers, etc., consider the 𝒑𝒆𝒓𝒔𝒐𝒏 - how are they feeling? Do they need explanation & reassurance? 🔗 academic.oup.com/ageing/artic...

Crikey.......where did that time go! 3 years ago, I left my volunteering role at @Livewellsw and joined the volunteer team at @uhpnhs.bsky.social 2 months later, I moved to the ICU rehab team and haven't looked back. Such a privilege to help others and support the team 🧡 #PatientExperience

Resharing my blog post of my time in hospital over Christmas Let us not forget those who aren't able to spend Christmas at home, both Patients & Relatives. It is never easy. fromdeliriumtoreality.com/2019/12/23/d... @ics-updates.bsky.social @uhpnhs.bsky.social #PatientExperience #ICURehab

And that's a wrap - last volunteering shift @uhpnhs.bsky.social ...... (for 2024 anyway 😉🤣) Ended on a high, taking a patient for their first corridor walk. It's the little things 😊 Time for me to have a little break, ready to come back refreshed in January. 2025 is going to be a good year 👊🧡

My #Crownhill stocking is up........6 years & almost to the hour since I was transferred from #ICU to Crownhill ward. On Christmas day, patients were gifted these,& I treasure it. But it's taken me 6 years to notice the tiny stocking button on the back! 🤦 #PatientExperience @uhpnhs.bsky.social

"Here's to being alive and being able to walk down the corridors for another year!" NEW BLOG POST ALERT!!! Happy Coma'versary! fromdeliriumtoreality.com/2024/11/23/6... #PatientExperience #IntensiveCare #ICU @tantamkate.bsky.social @ics-updates.bsky.social @uhpnhs.bsky.social

Let's be clear, Wellbeing in healthcare is not fluffy stuff. It's about workload, staffing, systems & culture. It's about valuing our own needs, modelling humanity & vulnerability, Creating spaces where people feel able to be authentic & ask for help. Wellbeing must be a priority. #MedSky
