Day 1 World antibiotic awareness week - Great talk from Andrew @IV_Nurse and @BBraunUK at IPS IV forum on the importance of flushing through the giving set to ensure all the antibiotic dose is given to the patient…correct dosing and completed treatment courses #education
Day 2 at @WoCoVA. @IV_Nurse presenting on the white paper recommendations and collaborative working. @NIVAS_tweets Nice job Andrew! – at Attiki, Greece
Great session by my @NIVAS_tweets colleague @WizardJulie. Great to see the data for the @BBraunUK Introcan. Seeing similar results at @UHP_NHS! – at Attiki, Greece

We explain to our patients needing dialysis that when possible, a fistula is the most durable and effective form of vascular access.
Well here is living evidence!
Our patient had his fistula made in 1975 and it’s working perfectly.

Wow, loving this debate…so much passion and so many reasons to move away from ported PIVC but safety solutions required for the emergency situations and until addressed some areas need a port – at Birmingham, England
Ported vs non-ported PIVC debate is on🎤 what’s your view ?
