Hi all
We have made a PowerPoint with voice over that goes through our hospital television channel using a USB stick

It was quite a lot of work but worthwhile
Please let me know if you want any more information

Hi Lindy
We haven’t got any further in place than you but I have been suggesting that we run all these things on a dedicated TV channel through all the TV’s in patient areas.
Both wards and waiting areas.
No luck getting it to happen as yet but working on it.
The other one for staff that I have considered is changing the screen savers to different standards info on a monthly basis.
Not sure if any help but just some thoughts I have had.

Hello

We are traveling though our accreditation journey again and I was just wondering what other sites were doing in relation to providing consumer information about your services (not just infection control but all other areas such as and their rights etc etc ) as we are supposed to be ensuring we are providing engagement & information to our consumers…& even more that they understand what we are providing them with !!

So I was wondering if anyone’s facility or service were already doing anything perhaps a little more novel rather than be reliant on paper based booklets or pamphlets…that either are not disposable but have a laminate cover (and are required to be wiped down each time a pt is discharged – very onerous and not always possible)…… or are required us to chop down half the world’s trees to ensure all consumers got information to get adequate information to our consumers

Happy to be contacted off line…just hoping for some inspiration of what I think may be possible…. is already be in place by other services.

Thanks in advance for sharing

Best regards

Lindy
