⭐️ MEET JESS! ⭐️

✏️Topic of the month in Neuro Recovery is "Capnography" so Jess has kindly taken the time to peice together this amazing teaching board✏️

👍Jess is one of our paediatric nurses and has recently gone on to expand her skills and expertise within the neuro and orthopaedic specialities 👍

📉*"Capnography is a useful peice of monitoring equipment that we use frequently in paediatrics to ensure our patients are breathing effectively. So far it isn’t as widely used for adult patients so I wanted to use the knowledge I’ve learnt from working in paediatrics to help teach more staff about the capnography waveforms and how it can improve our care of both adult and paediatric patients"* 📈

💙We are committed to developing our staff towards their individual goals and objectives. Our aim is to create a working culture where staff feel they can thrive, excel and belong💙

It is a pleasure to work with you Jess. From your recovery team, thank you! ❤️

❤️ "How lucky am I to have something so good that makes saying goodbye so hard"
.....A.A.Milne ❤️

Last week theatres and recovery said farewell to two of the most influential and inspirational leaders of our care group.

Both Tracy and Raquel have led and supported our teams during the most challenging times the NHS has ever seen.

⭐️It takes bravery to lead, but even more so during the insurmountable pressures of a global pandemic, plus the largest nursing strikes in history all wrapped round a health service demand growing faster than the workforce inside it⭐️

On behalf of the recovery team, thank you both Tracy and Raquel for EVERYTHING ❤️

❤️ you will always be welcome here ❤️
