Neely Mozawala Thomas Jacques Tim Barker Good in that it’s predictable income, not an annuity or whatever
Bad in that the tax can be tricky
Neely Mozawala Thomas Jacques Tim Barker Basically yes. You need a “pension pot” for tax purposes, but it bears no resemblance to what you will take home from your pension in retirement
Nick (@[email protected]) This is actually horrible. Mobilising is good for people, they will still need the loo, their joys are being curtailed... and it's not evidence-based?!
Lara Capybara RN 🌈 DrawMyCare Reductio ad absurdum, but anuria would reduce falls due to need to urinate to zero. Not good for you though. Additionally overall falls appears unchanged, so no evidence of harm reduction - and as others have said risk of inducing postural hypotension
DrawMyCare Lara Capybara RN 🌈 No evidence it reduces falls at all though - entirely “I reckon” and a charitable interpretation of a run chart (makes no sense) showing proportion of falls due to “toileting” might be reduced (but not overall falls)
Simon Jones Nicola Powley Lucky trainees with LE model. If you haven’t got one then you’re stuffed as a trainee.
Lara Capybara RN 🌈 Nick (@[email protected]) Well all I can say is I'm interested as it could be groundbreaking ( no pun intended) so needs follow up study( with control group given decaf but told its caff ( not sure ethical panel wd agree) anything to reduce falls in at risk ppl is gd given the traumas falls cause literal
Victoria James Murdoch Have to confess I’m looking at it from POV where I have responsibility only for critical care, so I’m (hopefully) aware of bed moves - but for “mission critical” communication lack of ambiguity is more helpful than niceties. Bed X ward Y can be just as unhelpful as a name.
DrawMyCare Nick (@[email protected]) 'Anything to reduce falls in people is good'. Not anything, no. Safe staffing and safe mobilisation will keep falls at zero to near-zero.
Otherwise you are introducing the risks of other harms eg those caused by not moving frequently enough.
Dr Natalie🧣 Qualification check at one of the grad medicine interviews was interesting. “Why does it say MA when it was science?” “It just does” “Why isn’t there a grade?” “Because it’s separate grades for each part” (repeat above for ~10mins) 🤯
