Are you aware of the ‘hidden’ fire risks and hazards within your Care Home, Hospice, or within community-based patient settings? In a recent Poll, we asked Care Providers if their current Fire Risk Assessment included these five important areas…   - Risk of emollient use - Evacuation strategy  - Referral to Fire and Rescue Service - Risk of air mattress - Information given to the patient and/or family …only 32% of respondents, ticked ALL five boxes. As a result, 66% of respondents have now asked to discuss their Mattress Strategy with OSKA and explore alternative mattress provision for their patients/residents where fire is a known risk. Understanding and mitigating these risks is crucial for everyone’s safety. If you’d like to discuss your mattress provision strategy, askOSKA: 02394 318 318 | [email protected] | www.oska.uk.com #FireSafety #Crib5Regulations #FireHazards #EmollientIUse #Paraffin #PressureCareExperts #PressureCare #CPD #Webinar #PressureUlcerPrevention #PressureUlcers #TissueViability #TissueViabilityNurse #Healthcare #Nurses #aSSKINg Jason Dean MSc, MIFireE, MCSFS, FFireInv

In Alberta, emergency providers are trained to look for the "Green Sleeve" on top of your refrigerator. It should also accompany people if they visit the hospital. The "Green Sleeve" is a plastic pocket that holds your important advance care planning forms in the case of an emergency when you or your loved one may not be well enough to communicate their wishes. This should include your Goals of Care Designation form signed by your healthcare provider as well as a copy of your personal directive - this tells emergency care providers whether or not you want CPR and other medical interventions. For more information and to order your green sleeve, visit https://buff.ly/3TZaQqm or type in "Alberta Health Green Sleeve" in your search engine. If you don't have a signed Goals of Care Designation form, you should book an appointment with your family doctor or nurse practitioner to have one completed. #greensleeve #goalsofcare #goc #health #healthcare #wellness #wellnesswednesday #rn #np #nurse #nursepractitioner #уус #yeg
