🌍 World Patient Safety Day 2024: Improving Diagnosis for Patient Safety 🏥 Today, on September 17th, we join the global community in observing World Patient Safety Day. This year’s theme, “Improving diagnosis for patient safety,” highlights the critical role of accurate and timely diagnosis in ensuring patient safety and enhancing health outcomes. One simple yet effective tool in promoting patient safety is the use of wristbands. These wristbands, often color-coded, help healthcare providers quickly identify important patient information, such as allergies, fall risks, and specific medical conditions. By ensuring that this vital information is easily accessible, wristbands play a crucial role in preventing errors and enhancing patient care. 🔍 Why Wristbands Matter: Identification: Ensures correct patient identification, reducing the risk of mix-ups. Allergy Alerts: Highlights allergies to medications or substances, preventing adverse reactions. Fall Risk: Identifies patients at risk of falls, enabling proactive measures. Medical Conditions: Provides quick access to critical health information, aiding in accurate diagnosis and treatment. As we reflect on the importance of patient safety, let’s commit to adopting and promoting practices that safeguard our patients. Together, we can make healthcare safer for everyone. #WorldPatientSafetyDay #PatientSafety #Healthcare #Diagnosis #Wristbands #SafetyFirst #Brenmoor Michael Moorhouse Paul Brennan

🌟 Do You or Your Patients Suffer from Chronic Spontaneous Urticaria (CSU)? 🌟 URTICARIA (HIVES) — 🔴 Common Symptoms of CSU: - Itchy, Raised Hives or Welts: These red or skin-coloured welts can appear suddenly and often move around the body. The hives tend to be intensely itchy, making it uncomfortable, especially at night. - Lasts More Than 6 Weeks: If your hives have been persistent for over 6 weeks, it’s classified as chronic. Acute hives usually resolve on their own, but CSU continues to flare up despite treatment. - More Active at Night: Many CSU patients experience a worsening of symptoms during the evening or nighttime, disrupting sleep and making daily life even harder. - Triggers May Not Be Identifiable: Unlike acute hives, chronic Urticaria doesn’t always have clear triggers and may not respond to traditional allergy treatments. If you or your patients are experiencing these symptoms, it is important to take action. By referring your patients to a specialized UCARE Centre like LEADER Research in Hamilton, you ensure they receive the advanced care and treatment necessary for better management of their condition. At LEADER Research, we are dedicated to both treating Chronic Spontaneous Urticaria and advancing research to develop more effective treatments.
