Watch out for our detective-themed posts this week.
They're full of clues, findings & evidence showcasing the fantastic research taking place across STSFT.
Research changes practice, improves care & helps us make a bigger impact for patients & communities.

Congratulations to our Patient Safety Team, who were highly commended in the Patient Safety Pilot Project of the Year category for their innovative Bed Rail Alert Band project!
A fantastic achievement and a great example of how simple innovations can make a big difference 👏

ALT This image shows a hospital bed with a fall risk warning. The bed rails are lowered and a yellow strap is attached, indicating a safety measure. There's a blue chair beside the bed and a wooden floor. The border of the image features text advising against using bed rails due to fall risk, with icons illustrating this warning. Information including "Joe Bloggs" and identification numbers appears on the border.
