Today is World Pressure Ulcer Prevention Day, and to mark the day our tissue viability nursing team and colleagues from minor theatre hosted a special educational event in the hospital for both our staff and patients.

Awareness is key when it comes to preventing pressure ulcers, which can really affect recovery and overall quality of life for patients both during their hospital stay and in the community. Education events such as todays, reminds staff, and teaches patients and visitors, to stay alert and informed about ulcer prevention. Learning effective prevention strategies can truly make a difference in patient care.

It was wonderful to have such great staff engagement, over 200 wordsearches were entered into for our competition and staff from all disciplines learned something new! Big thanks to our prize sponsors Nutricia and Keaney Medical!

Yesterday we celebrated and marked European Antibiotic Awareness Day, Tuesday November 18th.

Bon Secours Hospital Dublin is dedicated to safeguarding our patients, staff and community from the adverse effects of the overuse of antibiotics through enhancing our infection prevention practices, optimising antibiotic use, and educating our staff and patients.
Many antibiotics are no longer effective against some resistant bacteria and using antibiotics only when needed can help stop this happening.

An interesting article in today’s Examiner, based on a new report from The Irish Longitudinal Study on Ageing (Tilda), reveals that 43% of adults aged 50 and older have high blood pressure and shockingly 36% are unaware of it. Dr. Angie Brown, medical director of the Irish Heart Foundation who is also part of our consultant cardiologist team at Bon Secours Hospital Dublin, highlights in the article the serious risks of uncontrolled blood pressure, including heart attacks, strokes, and even dementia. This is a vital reminder to prioritise your health and ensure to get regular blood pressure checks.

The Clinical Chemistry Department at Bon Secours Hospital Dublin has recently installed two new Abbott Alinity ci series analysers. As part of the lab’s continual development programme, these advanced analysers provide next-generation clinical chemistry and immunoassay testing, allowing for more tests to be processed quickly and efficiently.

Currently, verifications are in progress, with a projected go-live date in early 2026. This upgrade will provide many advantages to end users, such as a wider range of tests available in-house and faster turnaround times.
