🧼 Ensuring hygiene in schools is crucial for a healthy environment. In our positioning paper you can read about the importance of using paper towels over air dryers, and why this particularly important in schools: 📢Noise & accessibility: Jet air dryers can reach noise levels up to 94 dB*. Due to their smaller size, heads of children or people with physical disabilities are closer to the Jet Air dryer leading to even higher noise levels**. Paper towels have the best accessibility, are suitable for all age groups and thus are explicitly recommended by the RKI for medical facilities. 👧👨🦽Accessibility: Paper towel dispensers are user-friendly and accessible for all age groups, ensuring everyone can dry their hands effectively. This is vital in schools where both young children and individuals with physical abilities need to use restroom facilities safely. Prioritize safe and hygienic practices in schools and choose paper towels for a healthier future🙏 #SatinoByWEPA #SchoolHygiene #HealthySchools *Robert-Koch-Institut.

🩹 Empowering Future Pharmacists with Lifesaving Skills 🩺 Saveetha College of Pharmacy recently organized an interactive event under the theme of Sustainable Development Goal 3: Good Health and Wellbeing. The role-play, titled "First Aid Fundamentals: Lifesaving Skills for Future Pharmacists", was led by Lecturer B. Pavithra from the Department of Pharmaceutics. 💉 Third-year B batch students took part in various emergency scenarios such as choking, severe bleeding, and heart attacks. They were divided into small groups, each demonstrating critical first-aid responses using first aid kits and mock injuries. 🧰 Through this hands-on experience, our students learned the importance of swift action and practical skills to handle real-life emergencies. 🏥✨ #PharmacyEducation #FirstAidTraining #LifesavingSkills #FuturePharmacists #Healthcare #EmergencyPreparedness #SDG3 #SaveethaPharmacy #Wellbeing

We are excited to introduce our Oral Care Champion, Biji Sijo, Senior Care Assistant at Langdale House. We asked Biji three key questions: 1. How do you implement good oral hygiene practice with residents and staff? Natural teeth should be brushed twice daily, once in the morning and once before bed at night. 2. How do you encourage our residents to independently maintain good oral hygiene habits? Encouraging our residents to maintain good oral hygiene habits independently involves promoting a consistent brushing routine at least twice daily. We emphasise the importance of thorough and regular teeth cleaning, stressing the benefits of routine dental check-ups. Additionally, we advocate for increased water consumption, emphasise the need for regular toothbrush replacement, and strongly discourage smoking. Furthermore, we recommend using mouthwash as part of a comprehensive oral care routine. 3. What advice would you give to everyone on the importance of oral Hygiene? Remember to prioritise oral hygiene by brushing your teeth twice daily and cleaning between your teeth regularly using dental floss or a special brush. Biji, we appreciate your dedication to the well-being of our residents at Langdale House. Your commitment is truly commendable, and we are grateful for everything you do. #Champions #langdalecarehomesuk #WeCare #NursingHome #EverydayIsDifferent #CareGivers #DementiaCare #carehomesuk #ResidentialCareHome #DementiaFriendly #carehomeactivities #carehomeactivitiesmatter #socialcaresuccess

Three brand new guides from our Hygiene category: https://lnkd.in/eKSu2gEZ   ·      Assisting an adult with toileting: Using a toilet   ·      Assisting an adult with toileting: Using a commode   ·      Assisting an adult with toileting: Using a urinal in bed   Elimination is considered to be one of the fundamental activities of daily living. People may require assistance with toileting and the amount of help required will vary according to individual need. Some patients will be able to transfer to a commode or walk to a bathroom with differing levels of assistance, while others will require a slipper bedpan or a urinal. The level of assistance needed depends on various factors, including the patient’s current medical condition, vital signs, mobility, cognition and level of pain. Healthcare staff should always consult the patient’s moving and handling risk assessment before assisting with toileting, and must do everything possible to maintain the patient’s privacy and dignity. These three new, fully illustrated guides cover the practical steps involved in safely helping a patient to the toilet, to transfer to a commode or to use a urinal or slipper bedpan. #toileting #clinical #nursing #elearning

If you missed out on the live Paediatric Feeding SLP Australian Tour in March, don't worry - you haven't lost your seat at the table 😉 Brianna Miluk Slp, delivered valuable insights across various aspects of paediatric feeding that resonated with so many professionals - and we captured it all in our Workshop Replays. Bri illuminated (among so much more): 1️⃣ The significance of addressing all domains in paediatric feeding disorders. 2️⃣ The art of assessing oral motor skills in practical, real-world contexts. 3️⃣ The power of aligning goals with the caregiver's and child's own strengths and passions. These insights are just the beginning. The workshop replays delve into topics like Neurodiverse Affirming Feeding Approaches, Infant Feeding Techniques, and even advanced scenarios of Medically Complex Paediatric Feeding. So, if you're looking to broaden your expertise from the comfort of your own home, our workshop replays offer a rich banquet of strategies and knowledge. Head on over to our Courses and Replays page on our website, and keep growing your skills 👇 https://lnkd.in/gZSeAWBg #PaediatricFeedingSLPTour #FeedingTherapy #WorkshopReplays #LifelongLearning #PaediatricFeeding #LetsGrowTogether

As nurses we ignore the signs & abuse that the profession has put upon us. We are dopamine depleting & coffee chugging. Our nervous system is deregulated, yet we push through everyday. What is this doing to our mind, body, & spirit? #nursehealing #nursebusiness #nurseentrepreneur #heatherwilsonrn #footcarenurse #footandnailinstitute

Burns First Aid Giving immediate first aid can help to decrease the severity of a burn Thank you to our colleagues at Surgeons for Little Lives for their educational video! 1. Don't cover the burn with ointment butter milk or home remedies as they can make the burn worse 2. Do not tear off any clothing stuck to a burn but remove clothing around burn. Keep the child warm e.g. in a blanket while treating the burn. 3. Run cool tap water over the burn for 20 minutes (if no tap, use a bucket or jug). Do not use ice or iced water. 4. If a blister forms, do not break it open. 5.Dry sterile gauze or Burnshield® dressing may be applied to protect the burnt area once it has been cooled whilst seeking help 6. Make your way to the paediatrician or hospital for any burns that blister, burns on sensitive areas of the body (hand, feet, face, eye, groin) or those that cover an area larger than the child’s hand should always be attended to by immediately.
