People living in Medway and Swale are being encouraged to sign up and become Research Friends of Medway NHS Foundation Trust. Laura Adams, Patient and Public Engagement and Involvement (PPIE) facilitator for Research and Innovation, said: “Evidence shows that research active trusts, like Medway NHS Foundation Trust, deliver a higher quality of care to their patients. That’s because through research we can offer treatments that otherwise would not be available and ensure we are offering the most up-to-date treatments to patients. “We want to place research at the heart of everything we do. Without research we would be blind within healthcare as we wouldn’t know how to treat new diseases and viruses or the long term effects on people, but importantly we cannot carry out research without patient involvement." “By launching Research Friends we hope it will spark an interest in people living in Medway and Swale to find out more and get involved with research at the Trust in as many ways as possible - whether that is taking part in a study, sharing results with friends and family, guiding study design or influencing the future of research at Medway.” Find out how to sign up: https://lnkd.in/ehkVxWwh #bestofcare #bestofpeople #Medway #Swale #research Medway NHSFT Research and Innovation Team

A very nice view into a cathlab showing what can be done in the cardiac domain with the systems we develop.

Staff and patients are benefiting from cutting-edge technology at University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust, where an average 10,000 interventional procedures are performed within the general interventional suites themselves. The Heartlands Treatment Centre (HTC) opened in January 2023 and features multiple Philips systems, including two Azurions with FlexArm. Following the service improvements seen in HTC, two further Philips Azurions were installed at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham within the last twelve months. Both of these projects have replaced older technologies, improving patient diagnostics and treatments whilst supporting multiple clinical teams to work seamlessly during interventional procedures. #healthcare #partnerships #NHS

First symposium of the new department for congenital deformations of the University Hospital Schleswig-Holstein, Campus Kiel, in Germany. Patients with congenital deformations, newborns, children and adults, need specialised, interdisciplinary care. The new departments mission is to provide the best possible care to congenital patients entrusted to them across the different disciplines in medicine. #BerlinHeart is honoured to support the heart failure specialist at UKSH Kiel to provide care to #congenital, #failingFontan and #heartfailure patients and help bridge them to #hearttransplantation or #heartrecovery. #ourpatientsourmission #EXCORRevive #EXCOR #EXCORActive #EXCORPed #EXCORAdult #sometimeshalfisnotenough #BridgeToLife

I love this as an option for PWD!! I see this as game charging and how it can help so many individuals, interested to see Data between the two OTC CGMs (Abbotts: Lingo and Dexcom: Stelo)

Proving a system designed with broad equity in mind, spanning lingual, economic, and technical gaps, can help Hospitals better deliver on both their ethical and operational goals. This is a great discussion on what that looks like with Chief Digital Officer Omkar Kulkarni, MPH from Children's Hospital Los Angeles (CHLA).

The EMF Effect: Inspiring insights from Dr Michelle Dodds and Natasha Edwards from Redcliffe Hospital Emergency Department on their research into developing a paediatric peripheral intravenous cannulation package. Funded by an EMF Emerge grant, the project aimed to enhance the procedure for inserting intravenous cannulas in children under 16, which often causes anxiety for patients and families. The research team developed evidence-based resources, including a bedside guide and an education package, to boost clinician confidence and standardise practices. The implementation of these resources resulted in improved patient experiences, reduced clinician anxiety, and enhanced workflow efficiency. These resources have been successfully integrated into various departments at Redcliffe Hospital and have also been adopted at many sites in Queensland. Future plans include expanding the resources for broader applications in both paediatric and adult care, focusing on skills that alleviate patient anxiety during various medical procedures.
