🚨Calling all UK based Critical Care OTs we need you 🫵 Lets build a clear picture of our national OT critical care workforce and address our variations and unmet needs (one needed per unit 🙏🏻)🚨

#SOA25 Day2 Final Session Takeaways
Palliative care is not just talking about dying it’s about “what matters most” to patients & their families
Listen to understand, not to respond
Don’t assume-ask them!
Get to know your palliative care team
The opportunity to talk is empowering & liberating

#SOA25 Sedation & Delirium in ICU needs cultural change! But the local context, structure, care bundles & behavioural science are key.
Think *Individualised Care *Regular Communication *Advanced Planning - ask the “When do we do when” (Day vs Night) *Team Approach *Daily Goals

#SOA25 Day 2 with the NCEPOD, Key take away messages
“Who’s advocating rehab across the whole patients story and how?”
“How are you going to make it count”
“Measure what you do because it’s probably not what you think”

#SOA25 Wrapping up Day 1 with an important reminder that communication is a skill to practice and regular updates and simulations to make sure we are meeting our patients and their families where they are is vital #vitaltalk

#SOA25 Critical care rehabilitation leaves a legacy but the patients story doesn’t stop there and neither should rehabilitation. Collaboration and joined up thinking is the future for critical care survivorship for patients and their families #NCEPOD #Lizzieallen

Key take home message from the first 2 #SOA25 plenary sessions this morning
*clinical reasoning is not a recipe book
*do the basics well
*early mobility and function work
* frailty and multi morbidity are part of the patient’s story
* remember patient centric care
