TY to everyone who came along to our information stand for #WDAD2024! We spent the day educating staff from lots of departments as well as relatives and visitors. Lots of learning points to take away as well as what we need to work on as a hospital. @Mrsdwyer2 @WishawGen

Thinking of the children, parents, and teachers of Dunblane. Dunblane. March 13th 1996. Never forgotten. 💔

Did you know that such a high number of ortho patients develop a post-operative delirium? All members of the teams in ortho should be aware of what to look out for. @corinne_barrett @BenMason_UHW @chilli615 @TMcCafferty79 #WDAD2024

The ever smiling @WThomson147 making an appearance at our delirium awareness stand! #WDAD2024

#WDAD2024 Talk about delirium to patients and relatives. Educate yourselves and staff on the wards wards, you will have looked after patients with delirium even if you don't know it.

The great team of pharmacists in @WishawGen know all about how polypharmacy and culprit meds can affect delirium. @gail36137176 #WDAD2024
