Great “stop the pressure” day on the ward today, raising awareness of pressure ulcers. Made fun by decorating gingerbread men with common PU areas & a hands on sessions with Grapefruits classifying PU grades 😃😁 #knowledgecanbefun #pressure #ulcer #vascular @DNDTeam_Surgery

Vascular Surgery Rules of Engagement 1. When talking to families postoperatively, explain your biggest concerns about the case — no one likes surprises. 2. When you talk to patients, always do it sitting down. 3. If you do it perfect it might work. #vascularsurgery

Ward 15 staff having a moment’s silence and to reflect on our Majesty. And nothing says it better than tea & scones #queensfuneral #nhs @Surgical_Matron @DNDTeam_Surgery @SarahC_RN

@D19Kathryn @HospitalTvn @QLthtr @NicolaRoss1987 @CatherineSilco1 @SarahC_RN Well done Tanya 😊 Cant wait to see what the future brings

Congratulations Tanya @HospitalTvn on your first day as TVN Lead Nurse 🤩 🌟 Your brilliant leadership shining through 🌟 @QLthtr @NicolaRoss1987 @CatherineSilco1 @SarahC_RN

Medical question: recently saw someone resuscitated with 0.9% NaCl instead of Hartmann’s because they were lactaemic and Hartmann’s has lactate in it… is that a thing? I’ve always been taught a balanced crystalloid is still better/lactate is a harmless molecule?

Our wards better than your ward 😁 @DNDTeam_Surgery @surg_gov_lthtr @Surgical_Matron @SarahC_RN celebrating with the MDT, our improvements over the last 8 challenging months. Onwards and upwards.

First year as a doctor ✅ Definitely didn’t expect to finish F1 with a real interest in Vascular Surgery and wanting to do surgical training, but here we are! Onto SHO life tomorrow

We would like to wish Eid Mubarak to all our colleagues and their families celebrating this weekend! We hope it is an enjoyable day and you are able to spend with loved ones #EidMubarak #NHS #OneFamily

Due to the increasing levels of COVID-19 both within our hospitals and the local community, from Thursday 7th July visitors and outpatients attending a clinical setting within our hospitals are requested to wear a surgical face mask.

This may not seem that big an achievement to some, but this week concluded a whole month without an attributed pressure ulcer on a Vascular Ward. Given our patients complexities, what a phenomenal effort from the team 🥰 @SarahC_RN @Surgical_Matron @DNDTeam_Surgery @HospitalTvn

☢️INTERESTING CASE!!☢️ These images have been taken post #angioplasty. 🩺 Image 1 & 2 show significant dissection which has then been treated with a @BDandCo_PI Lifestent shown in Image 3. Image 2 - shows that angles make a huge difference when assessing and treating! #IRad
