https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/08850666231199986 , delighted to share our publication validating the DRSR98 as a delirium severity tool in critical illness . #weareICU #delirium #ICU
@gpollara @matdesgro they should be .. staffed 7/7 but sadly that is not always the case . Am thrilled our infection/ Micro MDT doesn’t let the bank holiday compromise their service. In my view we shouldn’t either #weareICU
@matdesgro it’s slightly ridiculous that a patient with septic shock admitted on Christmas Eve May not get any medication review for almost 5 days . #weareICU
On 28th December in our ICU , firstday of full clinical pharmacy services, since 24th December, so many opatients had poor medication optimisation. Including antimicrobial in obesity and underdosing in septic shock. Surely 2023 is the year for a full clinical pharmacy service in UK ICU ? Our patients and our MDT colleagues need us . #clinicapharmacy #weareICU
A publication from whole group of pharmacists most never published. Patient benefits of 7 day clinical pharmacy, 3 x more likely to get a medication history in 24 hours and more 1 in 2 prescription needed an intervention. I was at the back. Giving evidence from clinical pharmacy in critical care 7 days a week . #bepartofresearch #weareICU interhttps://twitter.com/cathymac40/status/1591143324601257984?s=12&t=jZNNraa4NN5GIbv50J5KtA
Time for #introduction , I am a consultant pharmacist in critical care. My research interests are sedation, delirium, opioid use and PkPD in critical illness. I am editor in chief on an ebook called Critical illness published on www.medicinescomplete.com. I am passionate about engaging pharmacy professionals in research, as most of them think they can’t and they truly can. I love being part of the MDT and collaborating with colleagues and friends. #weareICU #CriticalCare #pharmacist
