boa.ac.uk/resource/ukhsa… The UKHSA /BOA study suggests all should wear wrap around gowns with additional axillary protection for certain cases ..





Wes Streeting calls you and asks for *tangible* ideas he can implement to help NHS improve performance. But there's no extra money for big spending. What's your one idea? #FantasyNHS I'll start - staff passports across regions to free up pointless mandatory training time.












@RoshanaMN @BritOrthopaedic @deboraheastwood @jamestoml1 @parthaskar @ABOSortho Another massive problem in our workforce is plantar fasciitis. When I mentioned I'd developed it at least 4 others had also suffered. It turns out most factory workers standing in 1 position is supplied with 'anti fatigue matting'. Who knew?! Can you imagine this in the NHS?!






Recognition & thanks due for @LancsHospitals Royal Preston for providing all female orthopods with personal XR protective breast shields. Great to see a NW trust leading change & protecting workforce in response to work from @BritOrthopaedic and @hannah7oaks #12raysofprotection
