Great to meet the @nhsswft AMS & OPAT teams & hear about work to tackle C. diff infections with consensus antibiotic guidelines for frailty patients, promoting IV to oral antibiotic switch & an OPAT service delivering high quality care #KeepAntibioticsWorking #WAAW2023 #WAAW
Happy belated international nurse’s day to the OPAT team @nhsswft whether you are an ACP, staff nurse or support worker you give amazing care to our patients.
Amazing gift from @HampersForHeros to some of our very own heroes via a grateful relative. Thank you for your kindness to the SWFT OPAT team shared here with our awesome acute medicine colleagues #notallheroeswearcapes
Completely forgot about Twitter in the new experiences of virtual conference. Luckily the OPAT Twitter contingent didn’t.
Great to be able share some of our experience @nhsswft and hear from others about how OPAT adapted to COVID-19 #CEOglen
Seen @nhsswft as a patient these last few weeks. Consultant phone call and prompt treatment plan, nurse and pharmacy team follow up, shielding blood test arranged, prescription delivered by NHS volunteer. Great MDT care despite difficult times. Thank you all #NHSheroes
Happy International Nurses’ Day to the amazing nurses out there. So honoured to have worked alongside some really fantastic nurses. Thanks you for all you do (pre, during and post COVID-19). Glad you are starting to get some of the recognition you deserve from the public at least

If we stay at home and do as we’re asked, we won’t have to stay at home and do as we’re asked for anywhere near as long.
Pharmacist # 5 on the stage at OPAT conference. What a difference a few years makes and what an opportunity for our profession to show what we can bring the the MDT and how enhanced, extended and advanced skills added to base pharmacists skills can add to these roles #OPAT19
Discussing OPAT barriers: how we raise awareness, education and make OPAT more universally accessible.
Do patients and other healthcare professionals even know what OPAT means?
Is it time to rebrand? #Opat19 @AntibioticLeeds @raseaton66 @MGilchrist123
Good summary of OVIVA in practice by ROH, replicating the study results. Similar findings to ours locally in terms of oral regimes having increase in ADRs (and therefore requiring a lot of OPAT input) but still cost effective #OPAT19
Good to think about equity within our OPAT services. Good food for thought on how we can assess equability #OPAT19
So proud to manage a SWFT team that do exactly this.
Well done all @nhsswft and #CEOGlen
Let’s not get complacent with this but continue to keep the patients and care based on the best evidence at the heart of what we do
@carequalitycomm Chief Inspector of hospitals said staff @nhsswft 'treated patients and their families with great compassion and kindness and always took account of their individual needs.'

Great to see the SWFT OPAT service recognised and so proud of the team that work tirelessly to make this possible @nhsswft
'Patients trained to administer own #antibiotics to free up space & reduce infection risk' #OPAT #NHS #StopSuperbugs @MGilchrist123 @raseaton66 leamingtonobserver.co.uk/new…
Hate seeing myself on video but great publicity for OPAT at SWFT and the wider OPAT agenda @eopat
Patients at @nhsswft are being shown how to administer their own drips at home which is saving time, money and resources in #Warwickshire.
Our reporter @JHWeller’s been down to the OPAT unit at #Warwick hospital to find out more.
Utterly appalling customer service from @ScottishPower nothing customer or service focussed about it. Time to change energy providers.
Today I had my flu jab as @nhsswft kicked off it’s annual campaign. Protect yourselves, your family and your patients by getting yourself vaccinated.#flufighter
Today I finished my postgraduate Advanced Clinical Pracrice Masters. Not quite sure how I got here but where exactly it takes me next but excited for the journey!
