Privilege as always to speak at #PatientPSP2026 conference. It's so important to bring the patient experience into the forefront of patient care and safety. #PatientExperience #PatientSafety @hcuknews.bsky.social @patientsafetylearning.org @uhpnhs.bsky.social @uhpvolunteerteam.bsky.social

Took a patient outside for the 1st time since admission. Always a privilege to do this, something everyone takes for granted. Imagine being reliant on others & unable to go outside for weeks...... Fresh air reawakens patients, and it's such a vital but simple act. #FreshAir @uhpnhs.bsky.social

Volunteering on a bank holiday always hits differently. Today was about helping our patients feel a little less like being in hospital - Garden visits with dogs, pampers & manicures. It was a privilege to spend my day this way. @uhpnhs.bsky.social

A tricky volunteer shift today but overwhelmingly made better by taking a long stay patient to the garden. We shared our love of big band music, I told him about my saxophone, and we listened to the BBC big band on my Spotify. It was quite perfect 🥰 Happy Friday all.... @tantamkate.bsky.social

♥️ To provide compassionate care for people with delirium we need to: ➡️ detect & document it formally ➡️ communicate the Dx to pt & carers ➡️ alongside treating triggers, etc., consider the 𝒑𝒆𝒓𝒔𝒐𝒏 - how are they feeling? Do they need explanation & reassurance? 🔗 academic.oup.com/ageing/artic...

And that's a wrap - last volunteering shift @uhpnhs.bsky.social ...... (for 2024 anyway 😉🤣) Ended on a high, taking a patient for their first corridor walk. It's the little things 😊 Time for me to have a little break, ready to come back refreshed in January. 2025 is going to be a good year 👊🧡

Let's be clear, Wellbeing in healthcare is not fluffy stuff. It's about workload, staffing, systems & culture. It's about valuing our own needs, modelling humanity & vulnerability, Creating spaces where people feel able to be authentic & ask for help. Wellbeing must be a priority. #MedSky
