PULSE CHECK !!🚨: In response to a shocking incident where two Filipino nurses were attacked during unrest in Sunderland, the Health Secretary has issued a firm warning: anyone who exhibits racism towards NHS staff will be turned away. The nurses, who were on their way to provide emergency cover, were understandably "terrified" by the attack. Wes Streeting has strongly condemned the "mindless thuggery" that has been spreading across Britain, especially following the recent Southport stabbings. As far-right violence has surged in various towns and cities, the safety of NHS workers has come under threat. Streeting’s message is clear—racism against healthcare staff will not be tolerated, and those responsible will face serious consequences. ------ What do you think? Do you think there could be severe consequences if staff are now able to deny care to service users who use racist language towards them? Should there be more repercussions in place if this does happen? Do you have any experience of racial abuse whilst working in healthcare? 👇🏽 #health #riots #healthcare #nhs #southport #i mmigration #uk #breakingnews #news #update #pulsecheck #bestcarejslimited #care #healthcareworker #racerelations

【Turn Challenges into Opportunities -- Central Government-aided Emergency Hospital Team, Hospital Authority #Outstanding #Team #Award 2024】 Central Government-aided Emergency Hospital Team New Territories East Cluster / Hospital Authority Head Office The Central Government-aided Emergency Hospital (CGAEH) commenced service last year, providing a range of radiological diagnostic services, endoscopy and microbiology services, etc. for non-emergency patients in stable condition, easing their waiting times significantly. Patients are reassured at being able to receive earlier diagnosis and treatment. “Happy patients mean happy staff. It is a win-win situation.” The Team says. Built to help cope with COVID-19, the CGAEH in Lok Ma Chau was taken over by the Hospital Authority (HA) in early 2023, giving the New Territories East Cluster and the HA Head Office the opportunity to transform it into a centre for ambulatory care in the space of just three months. CGAEH provides Computed Tomography (CT) scans, Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scans, ultrasound scans, endoscopy and microbiology services, and sleep tests in phases. Suitable patients are invited to participate on a voluntary basis. Most participants are able to obtain services within two to three months, and more than 33,000 patients have benefited from different types of services as at mid-March this year. Patients who are not on the list could also be benefited from the shortened queue. “Patients have nothing but praise for the services. It is crucial for them to have a choice,” a spokesperson for the #CGAEH Team says, adding that the rush to open the hospital on time was the biggest challenge with team members determined not to lose a single day of service. They worked closely with government departments and clusters, guaranteed private and public sector deployment and ensured patient safety. Everyone involved went the extra miles for the benefits of patients. Above all, the Team turned challenges into opportunities, using existing outpatient and inpatient equipment and facilities to provide patient-centred care, for instance, deploying dedicated vehicles to operate between the CGAEH and MTR stations. “The specialisation in CGAEH has created a new service model which serves as a reference for the future implementation of ambulatory care.” The Team is continuing to pursue its goal to take more referrals from all clusters to benefit patients across Hong Kong and – in its latest initiative – will offer vitamin D analysis for patients suspected to be vitamin D deficient or to have hypervitaminosis D.   [Video in Cantonese] #HA #HospitalAuthority #HelpingPeopleStayHealthy #awardsandrecognition #outstandingteam #NTEC #HO

https://lnkd.in/e6DGJF9M This article claims that amid this recruitment crisis, an 'expert' looks at tackling issues and solutions. However it's clear this 'expert' has not been immersed in the fostering sector on the frontline, consulted in any meaningful way with the real mainstream, done a deep dive or understands the industry at all. It feels like a bunch of excuses to externally project the blame for poor retention and recruitment on just about everything except the real reasons. Retention and recruitment will not improve until this industry acknowledges the truth, lets go of their own agenda's and put the children and those who care for them first. Maybe these 'experts' should read this for a reality check: https://lnkd.in/enYhkWSx We know, we understand, why? Because we are you, join today: https://lnkd.in/dF75XPvH
