The Patient Profile form is a resource that can help us to know more about our patients as individuals and aims to improve a patient's hospital experience. It is a simple paper form that the patient or their families/carer voluntarily completes with minimal instructions. With the onset of COVID-19 a nurse liaison or bedside nurse completes the form with the help of the next of kin by telephone and near admission. The form is placed at the patient's bedside to support the team deliver care. The form is used in conjunction with Patient Diaries and is designed as a quick overview for all patients. For those patients with specific needs the Health Care Passport is completed. You can download a patient profile example form HERE and the presentation poster explaining it's development HERE |

New Recognising and Managing Deterioration e-learning programme launched Health Education England e-Learning for Healthcare (HEE e-LfH) has worked in partnership with London South Bank University and Bournemouth University, to develop a new, free e-learning programme to support health and social care professionals working in clinical environments where patients could physically deteriorate. The Recognising and Managing Deterioration programme is an e-learning resource offered at two levels, universal and advanced, to reflect the participant’s experience and clinical setting. This resource is structured around the ABCDE assessment tool and allows participants to revise their anatomy and physiology, develop their skills and knowledge in the assessment process to recognise deterioration and manage the findings within the scope of their clinical role. Changes to vital signs, behaviour and mental state often occur before a serious event, such as cardiac arrest. Being able to recognise and act on these changes are essential skills to improving patient safety and outcomes. A range of resources are available in this e-learning programme to support the workforce and organisations in ensuring staff have the necessary knowledge and skills to recognise and manage deterioration in adult patients. How to access the e-learning The Recognising and Managing Deterioration e-learning programme is available to the health and care workforce via the e-Learning for Healthcare Hub. |

Webinar on Inhaled therapies during COVID19 – An overview of the new published 2020 GOLD Science Committee Report.
The latest GOLD Report (click here) stated that for COVID-19 patients receiving ventilatory support…it is vital to keep the circuit intact and prevent the transmission of the virus. Using a mesh nebulizer in ventilated patients allows adding medication without requiring the circuit to be broken for aerosol drug delivery.
Following this we are delighted to invite you to a webinar on Inhaled therapies during COVID19 – An overview of the new published 2020 GOLD Science Committee Report.
Presented by two members of the GOLD Committee; Prof. David Halpin, DPhil, FRCP, FERS and Prof. Dave Singh, MD, FERS, FBPHS and chaired by Prof. Antonio Artigas, MD, PhD this webinar will take place on Monday 7th December 2020 16.30 – 18.00 (GMT).
The webinar will focus on;
- Clinical research and management of the COPD patient during the COVID19 pandemic
- Reviewing the guidance related to the use of inhaled therapies in COVID19 patients
