Major Incidents involving children: - have an understanding of language used and communication pathways - know our role/Action Card within our dept's action plan - do as much 'normal' as possible but in an enhanced capacity - documentation is everything

Jennifer Pyper, Bereavement Lead at RHCYP. Shared a powerful and humbling presentation from a parent of one of our PMTC patients. Words too profound for Twitter...Thank you for sharing.

George Henry, Head of Safety and Policy at @transcotland, outlining strategies to reduce fatalities and serious injuries on Scottish Roads by 50% by 2030, and the aspiration to have zero road deaths in Scotland by 2050.

Thank you to all who attended and contributed in person and online, with over 200 delegates, all joined by our passion and drive to improve paediatric trauma care in Scotland, and beyond. #teamwork

Next @DaveLBywater & @DrMicheala - presenting the national collaboration between Police, Ambulance & NHS -> pathway for families of bereaved children to maximise support that can be given whilst adhering to police guidance - all depts should have a plan for enacting this process

Jill Baker & @PaedsOrthopod on PMTC Orthoplastic Service: - evidence -> outcome improvements in early frames +- (free) flap grafts ideally < 72h - earlier mobilisation & discharge - supported by anaes (nerve blocks/catheters) & PMTC physio - collaboration between adult MTC & PMTC

2018-2023 eSTAG report: publichealthscotland.scot/me…

Powerful story from one of our young trauma patients. What matters to us: doing stuff and fixing things. What matters to patients: fear, anxiety, frustration, missing family, friends, pets, being far from home, missing out on normal activities…
