I think this topic of how the measures taken for COVID are impacting on the safe treatment of other medical conditions is very important.
NHS England have published treatment guidance on how a wide range of medical conditions should be priortised and treated during the Covid pandemic - see link below
https://www.england.nhs.uk/coronavirus/secondary-care/other-resources/specialty-guides/
NICE has also issued guidance and more is on the way.

Ths guidance may introduce new risks and increase other known risks.
Is this guidance being followed in practice or are patients treatment being impacted when local guidance and priorities are being introduced?

Use of prefilled syringes of medicine
in Medication administration
Posted
Over the pandemic the topic of greater use of prefilled syringes and other ready to administer medicines especially in critical care areas was highlighted.
The European Association of Hospital Pharmacists have set up a special interest to review this area of practice.
I am a member of the special interest group and we are very interested to receive the view of critical care nurses on this topic.
Ther is a short survey for nursers to complete - please complete by 9th November 2022 to help inform our work on this topic.
