Do you agree? One common worry is the needle staying in your arm during blood tests. Let's clear that up: Short and Sweet: The needle is typically in for less than a minute. Expert Hands: A trained professional holds it steady, ensuring your comfort. Remember the old metal cannulas? Those stayed in! Thankfully, modern IV cannulas are different. The needle is removed, leaving a tiny tube for medication. Tip: Using a distraction device or numbing patch can help you stay still, making the process smoother. It also builds trust with your healthcare provider. Let's conquer fear together! Share your experiences or ask us a question via our contact page.

World Patient Safety Day calls for global solidarity and concerted action by all countries and international partners to improve patient safety. "This year’s theme is: “Improving diagnosis for patient safety” Did you know that needle phobia can sometimes lead to delayed or missed medical treatments? 😱 Understanding and addressing this fear is crucial for improving patient safety, ensuring accurate diagnoses and fostering a preventative healthcare culture. At NeedleCalm, we believe in "doing needles better." Our approach embodies trust, encourages open conversations, and reduces the shame and embarrassment that often coincides with this life limiting phobia. Key actions you can take as a clinician when it comes to needle fear and phobia: Ask your patients, "How are you with needle procedures?" This simple question can open the door to understanding their concerns and optimising care. Key actions you can take as a patient, family or caregiver: Be informed, involved and proactive in your diagnosis. Healthcare facility leaders: Implement safer systems to improve diagnosis, support your clinical teams and empower patients. Policy-makers and programme managers: Champion diagnostic excellence in health policy. Patient organisations and civil society: Advocate for quality and safe diagnosis Diagnostics and medical device regulators, manufacturers, innovators and managers: Innovate for smart solutions and diagnostic excellence Read more about the calls to action here: https://lnkd.in/gVY6nVYE Let's work together to create an informed healthcare environment for everyone where both staff and patients feel safe and supported. #needlephobia #healthcare #patientcare #mentalhealth #fearofneedles #preventative care #needlephobiaisreal #worldpatientsafetyday #medtech #supportstartups #nurse
