I am asking for a rehabilitation lead and rehabilitation strategy for every hospital and health board in the uk

I am petitioning for my patients, I am petitioning for my loved ones and for yours.

'Rehabilitation services have been seen as the 'nice to have, the icing on top of the cake'.

I fiercely believe that rehab is the icing in the middle of the cake, it cements everything together.'

The TV drama Breathtaking, (experiences and emotions of staff/patients during the pandemic), seems to have triggered psychological trauma in some of our past covid / icu patients. Trauma that they brushed under the carpet....ICUsteps Andrew Bates

I might have to take a sneaky peak over their shoulder! Good find Carol- a thoughtful form of entertainment! We could keep score of how many they manage to solve correctly- if they're being honest, of course 😉

#palliativecareinaction in my clinical time last week, saw 10 very ill people some repeatedly (total 23 visits). None had cancer; 5 on intensive care unit; all facing profound uncertainty; one has died. Palliative care is an integral and essential part of acute hospital for many

Fresh air and a small sense of 'normalisation' can make such a difference to our patients' mental wellbeing and motivation to recover. Great to see! 😀

Fabulous week for sharing the pts' experience of icu. Amazing number at our peer support grp on Tues with some staff and a std nurse attending to learn about recollections, icu delirium and recovery. Another pt came in & gave an emotional talk to my clinical team. Planning more!

You and the team are amazing in your roles !

In this digital age with QR codes/electronic obs/notes, shouldn't we start collecting patients' emails addresses in edocs? Since covid, many of my communications with past icu patients have been via email. It's what they say they prefer. Makes sense doesn't it?
