Top tips
- Ward Round expectations
- Starts at 0730 sharp – except Friday Consultant round post meeting
- NIC, physiotherapist, orthopaedic doctors
- Bring the WoW to check notes, observations, med charts in front of the patient
- Performing the perfect Ward round
- slow down and spend more time with patients
- ask patients if they have any questions
- Hand Hygiene
- We are falling behind on last audit and doctors are underperforming
- Fasting times
- 0200 for AM list
- 0700 for PM list
- 1100 for After Hours
- Sip ‘Til Send / Orthogeriatric protocols
- Fasting must be communicated ot the NIC & documented on EMR as “fasting plan”
- Patients bumped from theatre should have a documented reason (e.g. no access, emergency priority)
- Looking after patients like they are people, no UR numbers
- Privacy for patients
- How to communicate better
- Learn our names (the best doctors know every person’s name)
