We are also running a number of in house research and quality improvement programs including:
- Protocolised sedation management
- Code Red Investigations of incidents
- Intentional Rounding
- Safety Huddles
- CRRT improvement program
- Delerium identification and management
- Sepsis recognition and timely blood cultures
There is significant opportunity to become involved in such projects whilst working with us as a trainee, trust grade doctor or advanced nurse practitioner.
