@Deirdre40505532 Best wishes on your retirement Paula (aka Foxy 🤣). You’ll be dearly missed!

Best wishes to Paula Fox on her retirement. Paula is well know for her hard work and dedication in the paediatric day ward on the 5th floor OLOL Drogheda. We will miss her.

Have you had a baby in Ireland in the past 5 years?! We're seeking women with recent experience of maternity care for a #PPI panel and to guide our research on maternity safety. Meetings will be online and payment is available! #patientsafety #maternity #pregnancy

A real pleasure to share this rich conversation @juanitaguidera and I have with the wonderful @donberwick Healing is Healthcare: Quality is Goodness with special guest Don Berwick podbean.com/ew/pb-s2rd6-18…

Sharing his take home message for #RCPCH25 @PeterLachman says: “We need to inject patient safety into the genome from medical training onwards” it needs to be in the DNA of every clinician.

@george_carolan @NursingOlol @gra_milne12 @NicolaAnde28241 @Deirdre40505532 @CHIatCrumlin A career built on kindness and great care - all the best Connie!

If your child had the unfortunate diagnosis of cancer over the past 19 years, he or she was likely fortunate enough to have met this incredible human. A healthy & happy retirement Connie. @NursingOlol @gra_milne12 @NicolaAnde28241 @Deirdre40505532 @CHIatCrumlin

Want to know more about how we can involve children, young people, and families in patient safety? Our recent clinical fellow has been published in Archives of Disease in Childhood and explores practical approaches to making paediatric care safer. 👇 ep.bmj.com/content/early/…

Delighted to have contributed to this with several other Irish authors…Book review: a useful handbook on quality improvement in healthcare | BMJ Quality & Safety ⁦@RCPI_news⁩ ⁦⁦@RCSI_Irl⁩ well done ⁦@PeterLachman⁩ qualitysafety.bmj.com/content/early/…

While conventional metrics offer snapshots of safety events, patient-reported experience and outcome measures capture patients’ lived experience and shed light on patterns and opportunities for improvement that might otherwise be missed. Read more. ⬇️ go.ihi.org/3EJcjxV

Well done to ⁦@HSELive⁩ National QPS, ⁦@ucdsnmhs⁩⁩ & ⁦@PFPS_Ireland on the publication of the QPS Competency Navigator. This great resource was truly co-designed & will have a good and lasting influence on QI education, practice &outcomes www2.healthservice.hse.ie/organisation/n…

God, I remember the years of being absolutely swamped with really sick paediatric RSV patients years ago. Hopefully that infection will go the way of epiglotitis

@jpootsy The perfect gift for world patient safety day! Hope you find it useful

Great day at #npso2024 - I hope everyone has come away feeling inspired and with many new connections. Thank you @johnfitzsimons9 for providing some literature for the train journey home! #patientsafety

I've heard debate (again) about the pros of #QI vs #Lean, and vice versa... You don't need to choose one or the other. It’s more important to develop a clear, well-defined organisational structure for #improvement, and empower people at the front line to effect change. #QITwitter

Well done all!

Join me with @NeelamDhingra1 and @HardeepSinghMD on the next @IPAWorldorg webinar to celebrate @WHO #WorldPatientSafetyDay on Friday, 13 September 2024 | 1.30-3.00 PM UTC registration on flyer or here us02web.zoom.us/meeting/regist… #patientsafety #WPSD
