Education for theatres
We have created an educational video to make the journey of learning about theatre caps fun. We have tried to cover various topics such as history, reasons for the change to disposables and the many benefits and advantages of changing to our theatre badge hats along with how they will work in operating theatres. We hope to educate staff whilst keeping them entertained which can enhance the retention of information.
Education and rationale for new initiatives are imperative when trying to gain engagement and acceptance of the changes made so we hope that this video helps.
Badges for Safer Surgery: Knowing Who's Who Matters
Badges: A simple solution for safer surgery
Knowing who’s who in healthcare settings is key to improving the experience for patients and medics, reveals Danielle Checketts.
Ever been in a situation when you can remember someone’s face but not their name? To prevent this in healthcare, the ‘Hello my name is’ badge campaign has been implemented in most UK wards and departments- but in surgery, this isn’t as easy.
Clear communication is the foundation of safe, effective healthcare and the Department of Health estimates that up to 70% of adverse events are caused by miscommunication.
One major reason for this is the lack of clear identification among healthcare professionals. When staff are easily recognised by names and roles, it not only improves patient safety but also strengthens teamwork and builds trust between patients and the people caring for them.
AfPP Manchester
Attending the recent AfPP (Association for Perioperative Practice) conference in Manchester was both an enlightening and enriching experience, offering a platform for valuable discussions and insights. Throughout the event, many healthcare professionals shared their experiences of working in environments where collaboration and communication are vital, especially within the high-pressure setting of the operating theatre. However, these conversations also highlighted several challenges faced by delegates, underscoring the need for continuous improvements in professional interactions.
We also managed to interview Rumbidzai Kufa on the various challenges that she believes needs to change.
