#AntimicrobialResistance is something we all need to be aware of and understand the impact it could have. Help #KeepAntibioticsWorking by only using them when prescribed by a healthcare professional & making sure to finish taking the full course of antibiotics. #WAAW

When leaving hospital, specialist transport is only available to patients in exceptional circumstances... and a morning discharge is to be expected.
Whether you're go by car, taxi, community or public transport, help us get you #HomeForLunch by planning your journey in advance.

One of the most underrepresented impacts of discharge waits is the impact of ambulances waiting at ‘the front door’ If you can help get a friend or relative home early in the day please do - you never know when you might be the one waiting for that ambulance. @WyeValleyNHS

IPC is not just about healthcare it relates to everyone all of the time. Some bacteria are helpful and others not so good. Curious… Hear about the science and magic of 🦠 bacteria 🧫bbc.co.uk/programmes/m001qlz…

Swallowing Awareness Day @WyeValleyNHS
Proof that trying to achieve Level 4 puréed diet can be difficult at times. Fish pie & cauli cheese with mince turned out to be a Level 5. one example of the challenges our patients and their carers have to face everyday #SwallowAware2023

Swallowing Awareness Day @WyeValleyNHS
Dessert time!
First up - It’s a very impressive Level 5 deconstructed Banoffee Pie created by Ursula.
Then Laura had a Level 6 Angel Cake slice broken into chunks and served with custard!

Use the right NHS service and save our emergency departments for those who really need them. Unless you attend with a genuine life-threatening emergency, you may be re-directed to a more appropriate service or face an extremely long wait. #6things Visit http://111.nh…

Where to start when considering the development of a hospital environment… ‘It may seem a strange principle to enunciate as the very first requirement in a hospital that it do the sick no harm’ - Florence Nightingale, 1859. A fantastic reflection from Dr David Jenkins.

#AntimicrobialResistance is one of the most urgent global threats to the public’s health. Antibiotics can cause side-effects, including nausea and diarrhoea and contribute to the development of #antibioticresistance.#AntibioticGuardian #KeepAntibioticsWorking #WAAW
