Yesterday we were in the House of Commons for the Safety For All Campaign Parliamentary reception, hosted by Carolyn Harris MP. The event was attended by over 50 guests including MPs, Peers, frontline healthcare professionals, patients and representatives from NHS organisations, regulators, charities, unions and industry. The Safety for All campaign is run in partnership between the Safer Healthcare and Biosafety Network and Patient Safety Learning. It seeks to champion improvements in and between healthcare worker safety and patient safety. As part of this campaign we produce good practice resources, hold events such as this reception and publish reports on key patient safety and staff safety issues. Commenting on reception, our Chief Executive Helen Hughes said: “At Patient Safety Learning we believe that patient safety should be the core purpose of health and social care, not just one of many priorities traded with others. This will require a transformation in approach to both patient safety and staff safety. To achieve this, we need everyone involved, politicians, medical directors, clinicians, patients, industry partners and patient safety experts. That’s why events like today’s reception are so important, to help bring together a wide range of people all with different safety roles and responsibilities – all united by their commitment to safer patient care.” Read more here: https://lnkd.in/etfmuTTh #pslhub #patientsafety #staffsafety #avoidableharm #medicationsafety #medicinessafety

Lets grow this conversation!

This toolkit is innovative and has practical tools to improve well-being in healthcare. Investing in this work is an investment in yourself.

If you're looking to donate to charity this Christmas instead of sending Christmas cards, then this appeal could be for you! 🥘 Every penny donated to the Slow Cooker Appeal goes towards purchasing slow cookers, which are then distributed to those most in need in Norfolk. 🗺 Slow cookers are an incredibly versatile and cost-effective way to cook meals, especially for those who may not have access to a full kitchen or are on a tight budget. With a slow cooker, families can prepare nutritious and delicious meals that can last for several days. 🍽 Have a quick look at the link to find out more and please do share with your networks! ⤵ #charity #appeal #makeadifference

Did you know nearly 7,000 children in Orange County, North Carolina are on free and reduced meals? That's 1 in 3 kids who can be considered food insecure. TABLE was founded in 2008 to help alleviate food insecurity among children living in Orange County by providing local kids with healthy, fresh food and nutrition education. We started serving 12 kids at one elementary school and have grown our programs to deliver food directly to the homes of 950 kids every week. Since 2008, TABLE has distributed over 2,880,000 healthy meals and snacks to local children. Through our food access and nutrition education programs, our goals are to improve children’s overall health; increase children’s knowledge of nutrition, positive attitudes toward healthy eating, and/or long-term healthy eating habits; ensure kids and families are engaged, involved, and feel dignified; and ensure kids have access to and eat sufficient nutritious food. Over the last year, TABLE has achieved some remarkable milestones including completing our Capital Campaign raising $3.25 million to purchase and renovate our new building, raising over $300k at our annual Empty Bowl Fundraiser - the most successful Empty Bowls ever, and moving into our new space where initially we will feed 1,000 kids with a goal to reach 3,000 children! As TABLE grows more everyday, TABLE is facing a challenge we have never seen in our history: a waitlist of over 300 kids and growing. We are living in a time where inflation is at its highest and it’s challenging to reach more donors. We need help now more than ever if we want to continue to give the children in our community healthy, sustainable lives. Please follow us to continue to learn more about us and ways you can help. https://tablenc.org #foodinsecurity #feedinglocalkids #orangecounty #helpingkids #nonprofit #tableinc #tablehistory

The good news is there is hope ..."The American Hospital Association is sounding the alarm over evidently widespread acceptance of 0% operating margins—or even negative margins—as a sort of “new normal” for U.S. hospitals and health systems." Let's look at #2 in this article. "Labor costs spiked even harder, driven in part by increased reliance on exorbitant rates charged by contract labor agencies during that period." We are nurses who intend to disrupt the market. Things have to change and we're here for it. The reality is that there will always be a place for our peers in hospitals AND the need for external staff (Surge Planning etc)...so how do we create the space for internal and external staffing to be more effective and drive down cost? We believe this is achieved by embracing nursing innovation and tech. 👉 www.calllight.health https://lnkd.in/gBNqgrSS

It has been a long time coming, but we will finally have a #NationalSchoolFoodProgram! Canada has been lagging behind for too long as the only G7 country without a national school food program. Every child in every school should have universal access to a nutritious snack or meal to nourish them and set them up for success. Nearly 1 in 3 kids in Canada are at risk of going to school hungry despite the decades-long efforts of non-profit organizations, local volunteers, and advocacy groups - let's hope that this $1 billion rollout will help fill the gaps. https://lnkd.in/g7y-Su9B
