Hi Joe,

Yes we have developed a preparedness trolley. I’m attaching a photo in PDF, I hope it comes through along with a copy of our trolley checklist. Feel free to contact me to discuss if this would help.

We have essentially placed a small ‘start-up’ stock of all items onto a trolley which includes a supply of all items we are recommending for patient management. This is being stored in a secure area with access easily obtained by relevant staff. We have also developed a “Quarantine Isolation sign” which is very consistent in look to the Commission doors signs, this provides advice to staff who will be entering the care zone in how to don and doff. These are laminated and will be placed inside and outside the room as well as in the ante-room.

Feel free to contact me off-line. Would love to know how you are approaching things too.

Kind regards
Rachel

Thank you everyone for all your ideas and assistance. ICPs are so generous, which I appreciate every day.
You have given me a lot of scope for our ED.

Hi Joe

We have used a similar approach to Rachel with a preparedness trolley set up in ED, we’re also purchasing stock for a pack to be kept in a secure store area for after hours, just enough to last a few days.

I have provided ED with a list of stock required for the trolley haven’t done a list to place with the trolley although I think that is a good idea.

We’ve also developed ‘quarantine’ signage for the designated areas in ED, ICU and the designated ward. We’ve also updated our signage for donning & removing PPE.

I’m happy for you to contact me off line if you want to discuss this further.
