Massive congratulations to the organising team - it was a pleasure to play a small part in the day #BTHFTTRACHE2023
For a tracheostomy patient, every admission to hospital is a chance to explore community safety. Inspiring talk from @EmmaCForster at the Bradford Trache Conference 🫁#BTHFTTRACHE2023
The newest addition to the team… He still has some competencies to complete but he enjoyed our catch up KIT meeting today

✔️Don’t be afraid to initiate the discussion
✔️Consider longterm recovery goals

@ellena_farrow showcasing a positive example of dignified ward based decannulation. Key theme of communication throughout the process ⭐️

Thanks to @danilou_86 for presenting the fantastic work her and @ZoeSherlockSLT have achieved in their Tracheostomy Practitioner role at @UHSFT .. Take home: what are the current challenges and work from there!
Hugely insightful presentation from Leanne about neuro-rehab provision to trauma pts at @UHNM_NHS … something for us all to aspire to! Often these pts need coordinated neuro rehab to achieve decannulation but usually can’t access on acute wards 👏🏻
Huge thanks to @EmilySLT for her fantastic presentation on Tracheostomy SLT service delivery in Critical Care @RWT_NHS as part of the National Tracheostomy Network service improvement webinar series. Great development and showcasing of the importance of SLT 👏🏻
