Visiting the Ophthalmology department soon? Don't Forget: There's a good chance you'll need dilating eye drops so we can do a full examination of the back of the eye. These drops can impair your vision making it blurry and then unsafe to drive afterwards.

Merry Christmas from some of our fabulous General Surgery nursing leadership team 🌲🎅❤️ @CHFTNHS @Rachelannrae @JoanneM95335858 @RudgeLindsay

Before anyone mentions it - yes some patients are aggressive, but some are anxious, speak loud naturally, scared or disoriented. We sometimes rush to label them as aggressive & should carefully consider all aspects first.

Going back to an old idea..do any other trusts provide an optional badge similar to the below for IEPs when they first arrive? I have had a few comments from our IEPs that something like this would be beneficial… @PatriciaSpruce @DevonAllianceUK @RoyalDevonNHS @GWH_NHS @SWLSTG
