🏥 Today we’re proud to share our core principles for effective front door acute patient care, in collaboration with the Royal College of Physicians These 10 principles (+ 4 more for SDEC) pinpoint ways of working you should promote and deliver to improve the patient flow and their overall experience Read more and access the principles: https://lnkd.in/eZEvXmZy 🤝 Working together, operational teams and clinicians can use the practical guidance points to gauge whether their service is delivering the care and necessary inter-specialty working as described, identify any gaps or inadequacies, and collaborate with colleagues in specialty teams and the trust executive to ensure the principles are supported and implemented.  🗨 We fully appreciate that some of these principles may not be standard practice for all acute care providers, but we present them as ways of working which should be embedded into normal daily interactions or which services should be striving towards, for the benefit of patients 🗨 - Mike Jones, GIRFT’s clinical lead for acute and general medicine The Society for Acute Medicine Royal College of Emergency Medicine British Geriatrics Society Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Glasgow Philip Dyer Adrian Hopper Leilah Dare Darren Best Michael Bland Julie Kennedy

🩺 Posting from my hospital bed for a good reason 🏥 😬 That’s the picture I sent to my kids. Probably the most vulnerable post I ever made on this platform but here it goes: I take selfcare seriously. Minor surgery but general anesthesia. 2 days hospitalization. Nothing to worry about but still, you prefer to do without. 🙏🏻 I am going to leave this place very, very humble. I have always had the uppermost respect for healthcare providers (reason nr1 why I worked so long for GE HealthCare) and now more than ever. Why? 💝 Because they make you FEEL that they CARE, all of them and all the time. 🎯 These professionals are human beings who found what they love and love what they do. They give 200%. From the receptionist to the surgeon and all the nursing experts guiding, helping, encouraging, redirecting, reassuring, caring with tact and kindness. An example for all of us in the business world. ✅ To be honest, I probably paid more attention to our interactions this time since I have developed a leadership program for healthcare professionals and get to work with them 1 on 1 more often. (check it out: https://lnkd.in/e7xqqBy2) 💔 I only regret I hadn’t paid more attention before. I am genuinely happy to fully get to do what I love now. I also may have become a better patient with the age, who knows?… ⭐️ Marcus Buckingham will explain in my next leadership conference how to find what you love, love what you do and do it for the rest of your life.

Delivering high-quality healthcare while saving costs relies on efficient, value-driven care. We are navigating a rapidly evolving healthcare landscape, particularly as we face the challenges of an ageing population both globally and in Singapore, where we are swiftly becoming a super-aged nation. Hospital occupancy and healthcare costs are rising, placing increased pressure on our systems. In this context, it becomes ever more critical that this care must be streamlined, sustainable, and above all, patient-centred. Achieving a balance between delivering high-quality care and ensuring cost efficiency and value-driven outcomes is essential to our mission of providing the best possible outcomes for those who rely on us. I would like to extend our deepest thanks to all our colleagues at #NUH, particularly Dr Diarmuid Murphy, the division of geriatric medicine, departments of orthopaedic trauma, nursing, rehabilitation, inpatient operations and our partner community hospital, St Luke’s Hospital, whose unwavering support has been instrumental in our success. Special thanks to the VDO team at NUHS for their support. Collaboration is the cornerstone of success in healthcare innovation. #Healthcare #PatientCare #ValueBasedHealthcare #NUHS #VDC #NUH #OrthoGeriatrics #Hipfracture Shikha Kumari Nazrul Nashi Reshma Merchant Francis Ho

In this episode, we delve into The EXIT Project, an initiative founded by Tim Nutbeam and Rob Fenwick, aimed at improving spinal care, indications for spinal immobilisation, and patient outcomes in road traffic incidents and other axial load injuries. The project employs scientific rigour and trial methodology to develop effective strategies for emergency medical services. By collaborating with a range of professionals, including researchers, medical practitioners, and emergency responders, The EXIT Project focuses on both research and practical applications to enhance road safety, clinical guidelines, and ultimately clinical practice. Tim discusses the innovative approaches the project takes to tackle the complex challenges of post-collision care. This includes the implementation of advanced triage systems, the use of data analytics to identify patterns and improve response times, and the development of training programs for emergency personnel. The project’s findings have led to significant improvements in the way road traffic incidents are managed, ultimately saving lives and reducing the severity of injuries. Tim and Lisa also explore the broader impact of The EXIT Project's work, highlighting how their research and methodologies are being adopted by emergency services worldwide. The discussion provides insights into the importance of integrating scientific research with practical emergency response strategies, emphasising the project's role in shaping the future of road safety and emergency medical care.

Working in a hospital means balancing endless tasks and demands — but too many distractions can quickly become overwhelming, putting hospitalists at risk of medical error. Experts point to these interruptions as potential causes for rapid burnout and frustration. In a time where we face higher workloads and more demands on our time, giving hospitalists the time and space to safely care for patients will require a thoughtful approach. Practicing better communication among teams, understanding prioritization of upcoming tasks, and reducing interruptions during key moments whenever possible is a strong foundation from which to improve.    Smilow Cancer Hospital Yale New Haven Hospital Yale New Haven Health #HowWeHospitalist #HospitalMedicine #HospitalQualityImprovement #Hospitalists #Physicians
