Ensuring your patient is wearing the right footwear is a critical factor in managing falls risk. Medline have put this simple video together to help you train teams on the appropriate use of their slipper socks. #ThinkFalls youtu.be/99AIQiB62Ws via @YouTube

Our team have had a super busy start to 2022 enabling an awesome 867 connections for our patients with their loved ones during January - 722 of which were virtual video calls. The smiles, care and love we see during those calls is heartwarming 💙 #proudtobeaFLO #proudtobePHU

Did you know the prevalence of delirium in people on medical wards in hospital is 20-30%? And even higher on surgical wards? On world delirium day let’s ignite our alertness to delirium and how important it is to spot it and treat it as soon as possible #WDAD2021
