BC

| | Extract from a manual on surgery: disclosure | | --- | | The delivery of bad news is very difﬁcult. Arrange to talk to the patient in the company of family, preferably away from other patients. In some cultures, it is not common to give difﬁcult news directly to the patient. We must be aware that the norms and customs of our patients may not match our own. Often we try to soften the delivery of bad news by saying too much and confusing the matter, or by saying too little and leaving people with unanswered questions. Don’t say neoplasm if what you mean, and what will be understood, is cancer. Be clear, allow people to understand and feel some of the impact of the news, and then allow them to ask questions. It is often necessary to repeat the information to other family members, or to the same people the next day. | | Policy guidelines for general practitioners: asthma action plans | | --- | | An integral part of asthma management is the development of a written asthma action plan by the person with asthma and/or their carer together with their doctor. An asthma action plan helps the person with asthma and/or their carer recognise worsening asthma and gives clear instructions on what to do in response.
The process of developing a written asthma action plan is important, as this should be a discussion of the person’s individual asthma and its management. The written plan is a reminder of that discussion. Written asthma action plans are one of the most effective asthma interventions available, and have been shown to reduce hospital admission and emergency visits to general practice. | | Unknown and empty chemical waste container disposal | | --- | | Unlabelled chemicals are increasingly difﬁcult and very costly to dispose of and may require special analysis in order to identify them. Furthermore, the hospital’s chemical waste contractor will now NOT remove any unknown chemicals due to their risk level. Every effort should therefore be made to ensure that all chemicals in use, in storage or being prepared for disposal are fully labelled and described. If unidentiﬁed waste is discovered, you should immediately notify the hospital’s designated waste contractor via the helpdesk and complete an incident form. All empty containers which have previously contained chemicals for licensed disposal must be considered as Hazardous Waste until cleaned. | | Memo | | --- | | To: All staﬀ | | Re: Pharmacy incidents and errors | | Dispensing errors, other signiﬁcant error
