The ‘optimal layout’ for an isolation room to contain the spread of Covid has been created following tests at a London hospital. The room was designed by researchers at Imperial College London to reduce the risk of infection for health care staff as far as possible. Researchers used a state-of-the-art fluid model to simulate the transmission of the virus within an isolation room at the Royal Brompton Hospital in Chelsea, west London. They found that the area of highest risk of infection is above a patient’s bed at a height of 0.7 to two metres, where the highest concentration of Covid is found. After the virus is expelled from a patient’s mouth, the research team explained that it gets driven vertically by wind forces within the room. The research, published in the journal Physics of Fluids, is based on data collected from the room during a Covid patient’s stay. The work centred on the location of the room’s air extractor and filtration rates, the location of the bed, and the health and safety of the hospital staff working within the area.

untilHarnessing the contribution of support staff, and the wider population, is crucial in both determining the success of service transformations and shaping health outcomes. The fourth seminar in the Health Education England series will discuss the importance of whole system design and transformation and maximising everyone’s contribution to promoting and protecting the public’s health, as well as the significance of encouraging new and emergent roles and routes into health and care systems.

PDSA is a very structured four-step cycle which requires effort and discipline. It incorporates careful and detailed consideration of the following: Plan: A plan of what is to be tested including questions to be answered, predictions and answers to the questions and a plan for collection of data to answer the questions. Do: Carry out the test of change according to the plan, recording observations including unexpected outcomes/observations. Study: A comparison of the data against the predictions made in the plan and study the results. Act: Make a decision about the next course of action. Whilst the PDSA cycle originates from industry, it has been incorporated into the Model for Improvement It can be used to test ideas in the real or simulated context.- Posted
