As a physician, you must keep in mind, my friend, that don’t work in isolation... Medicine is not a solo act!! This is not a one-sailor job!! From the doorman greeting patients at the door, to the CEOs making strategic decisions, every single person plays a role in the system. So be respectful to that, and to those people. Treat everyone with dignity. Your colleagues, the nursing staff, the janitors, the administrators. The moment you forget this, you diminish your value as a physician and fall short as a colleague. I've seen examples of such doctors, and trust me, they are not the ones you want to look up to.

Wendy, a pharmacy technician (pictured) 💊 attended our monthly Broomfield Hospital staff engagement forum. She told me about how much she loves her job, but also the daily challenges she faces. I promised to come onto the wards and shadow her so I could get a better understanding of what she was telling me. Today I shadowed Wendy and also talked to her pharmacy colleagues. Allowing Wendy to show me how she worked really brought to life what she had told me in the staff engagement forum, it will also allow me to support where I am able. I always enjoy going onto the wards, the professionalism and compassion Wendy showed with her patients was completely aligned to our Trust Values (Excellence, Compassion, Respect). I had a lovely chat with one of her patients and, of course, I asked about their experience of Mid and South Essex NHS Foundation Trust 🏥 I was really encouraged by what they told me: ‘Your teams have communicated really well at every step so I know exactly what is happening’ 👏🏾 For me, taking the time to shadow staff is extremely valuable in building my understanding, and giving real context to issues, it also allows me to get direct feedback 🗣️ from our patients. #pharmacy #pharmacytechnician #pharmacist #medication #hospital #nhs #healthcare #patient #patientexperience #health #care #nhstrust #nhsengland #healthcareleadership #nhsmanagement

Did you know that if you work as a healthcare professional and are not considered a doctor or a nurse, you're an allied health professional? As healthcare professionals, you all play a crucial part in patient care, but many may not use the term "allied health professional" to describe their contributions. An allied health professional is a well-educated and trained individual who provides support and services in healthcare, working alongside physicians, nurses, and other healthcare providers. They play a crucial role in patient care and rehabilitation. Examples of allied health professionals include anyone working in specialties under imaging/radiology, medical/medical lab, respiratory therapists, surg tech, therapy, dietitian/nutrition, phlebotomy, and many more. Allied health professionals bring specialized skills that complement the work of physicians and nurses, ensuring comprehensive care for our patients. From improving mobility and nutrition to conducting essential diagnostic tests, you are integral to the healing process. Let's embrace this term and recognize the collective impact you have in shaping the future of healthcare!

Empowering Patients Through Education As Pharmacy Technicians, we do so much more than dispense medications, we educate, empower, and build trust with patients. Educating patients on their medications is a cornerstone of better health outcomes. I recently worked with Edward, a 64-year-old patient with hypertension and type 2 diabetes. His blood sugar has been well-managed for over a year, but his hypertension was still a challenge. After advising him on the importance of exercise, diet, and lifestyle changes, he became more active and has improved his overall health. Now, Edward’s not just managing his condition—he’s ready to take his fitness to the next level. He jokingly told me that he wants to start taking me jogging! It’s moments like these that remind me of the power of patient education, lifestyle changes, and ongoing monitoring in achieving long-term health. Beyond medication, patient monitoring, physical and psychological support, and a caring approach all contribute to a patient’s well-being. And, let’s not forget to smile, sometimes, a little positivity makes all the difference in a patient’s day. How can we further strengthen the role of Pharmacy Technicians in patient education? #PharmacyTechnician #HealthcareHeroes #PatientEducation #MedicationSafety #PatientCare #Smile

RECEPTION, MY BUDDY “You seem to want that vivida vis animi which spurs and excites most young men to please , to shine and to excel. without the desire and pains necessary to be considerable, depend upon it, You never can be so. ~Lord Chesterfield Reception is the identity of the laboratory - it's where patients form their first impression. The front desk and Phlebotomy areas play key roles in patient care. Processing patients on the Laboratory Information System and billing are just a part of the job - effective communication and self-control are vital when dealing with patients and medical professionals. Rejecting samples is challenging but crucial for ensuring quality results. Cooperation between clinicians and lab staff is essential for the benefit of the patients. Remember, "your result is as good as your sample." #LaboratoryOperations #PatientCare #HealthcareCommunication #ProudBiomedicalScientist. #NSSDIARIES

In one of the posts (https://t.ly/7q5x_), we examined how the FDA has included software (often referred to as 𝐂𝐃𝐒 𝐬𝐨𝐟𝐭𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐞) that is meant to 𝒔𝒖𝒑𝒑𝒐𝒓𝒕 𝒅𝒆𝒄𝒊𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏-𝒎𝒂𝒌𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝒉𝒆𝒂𝒍𝒕𝒉𝒄𝒂𝒓𝒆 𝒑𝒓𝒐𝒗𝒊𝒅𝒆𝒓𝒔, 𝒑𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒔, 𝒐𝒓 𝒄𝒂𝒓𝒆𝒈𝒊𝒗𝒆𝒓𝒔 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒅𝒊𝒂𝒈𝒏𝒐𝒔𝒊𝒔, 𝒕𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒕𝒎𝒆𝒏𝒕, 𝒑𝒓𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏, 𝒄𝒖𝒓𝒆, 𝒐𝒓 𝒎𝒊𝒕𝒊𝒈𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝒐𝒇 𝒅𝒊𝒔𝒆𝒂𝒔𝒆𝒔 𝒐𝒓 𝒐𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒓 𝒄𝒐𝒏𝒅𝒊𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏𝒔 in section 201(h) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act), as well as how Section 3060(a) of the Cures Act amended the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act and under the section 520(o), certain software functions were excluded from the definition of the medical device. Prior to discussing the types of "𝐜𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐝𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐬𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭" (𝐂𝐃𝐒) software functions that are not regarded as being a part of the definition of the device under section 520(o)(1)(E).  Let’s comprehend who is referred to as a 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐡𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐟𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 (𝐇𝐂𝐏). The term "HCP" as used by the FDA refers to a person who is authorized to administer health care and who has been granted a license, registration, or certification by a State or other regulatory body.
