Communication is shared in many different ways. No person is non communicative you just have to have the patience to discover how they need to “talk” to you. #listen #watch #reasonableadjustments #easyread #pictures #eyepointing #touch @BTHFT @BTHFTSafeguard1
We feel exactly the same @StayingPutUK…..we are so grateful to our HIDVA & know our pts with additional needs benefit so much from her invaluable knowledge & wonderful communication skills. #teamwork @BTHFTSafeguard1 @BTHFT
We are in such a better position having our @StayingPutUK HIDVA based in our team @BTHFT to help and support people experiencing domestic abuse. The benefits are endless and helps to ensure timely and effective support when its so often needed the most.
Do you need a bit of support & guidance around MCA & DoLS #confused #unsure #unclear #?Dr #?Nurse…… why not have a go at this or give @greaves_ash a call ☎️ in the @BTHFTSafeguard1 team 😊
Please RT and share amongst colleagues @BTHFT @BTHFTUG_meded @BTHFT_OT_Physio @BTHFTPharm @bthft_od @Mel_Pickup
@BTHFTSafeguard1 are assessing knowledge and skills in relation to MCA & DoLS within BTHFT staff (all professions).

Great resource #MCA
A useful video explaining Mental Capacity Assessments and the Best Interest decision making process.
Particularly helpful for where the #MCA assessment feels complex and the 'functional test'may require deeper thinking/analysis.

Advice and guidance available from the @BTHFTSafeguard1 team to help colleagues ensure legally sound Mental Capacity assessments and DoLS for patients.
simulation training @BTHFTsimtech was fantastic today learning how to support people with a cognitive impairment. Staff from Westbourne Green, ward 17 & OT’s demonstrated some fab skills. #ptsafety #stepbacknotforward #keepyourselfsafe @BTHFTPracticeEd @bthft @BTHFTSafeguard1

Today we had the pleasure of presenting to @HSJptsafety after we were nominated for piloting the role of the additional needs care navigator for people with a LD @BTHFT. Wishing huge amounts of luck to our colleagues also presenting. #equality #seemyLD #reasonableadjustments
We are so proud of Naomi who has been nominated for a #HSJ award 🏆. As a team we have worked hard to promote the role of the ANT Care Navigator supporting people with an learning disability through their hospital journey & after discharge @HSJptsafety @karendawber @bthft
Another successful simulation training session @BTHFTsimtech delivered by MH Nurse Lauren.
Patients who pose a risk & supporting staff to keep themselves & pts safe.
Thoughtful out of the box thinking for our MH & LD pts. Well done ward 28 & outpts #safety #standback #think
A great end to #LD#safeguarding week. Due to a rise in DV we focused on seeing, hearing & acting on red flags for a person with a LD. Ensuring they receive equitable & adjusted care. We shared pt stories & heard directly from bereaved families. @BTHFTSafeguard1
