🚨 Publication alert 🚨 Understanding Paediatric Palliative Care Needs with the ACCAPED Scale Paediatric palliative care offers comprehensive support for children with serious conditions. The ACCAPED scale, developed in Italy, helps assess their clinical needs across nine domains, guiding appropriate care. A pilot study suggests this tool may predict when a child is nearing the end of life, making it crucial for tailored support. Further research is needed to confirm its prognostic role. #PaediatricPalliativeCare #Medicalwriting #Scicomm https://bit.ly/3KDwJYR

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.
