maria25+FollowCare Home's 'Cultural Problem' ExposedA care home is under fire after an 84-year-old resident fell from her bed twice in one week—despite staff being told to raise her bed rails. The coroner called out a 'cultural problem' at the home, saying staff ignored safety measures, which likely contributed to her tragic death. This wasn’t just a one-off mistake—multiple staff dropped the ball. Major wake-up call for care standards! #CareHome #PatientSafety #News #Health #BodyHealth21Share
Kristi Key+FollowSepsis: The Silent Hospital KillerDid you know sepsis kills more people in England than lung cancer? The NHS watchdog just called out hospitals for missing the signs way too often, leading to thousands of avoidable deaths every year. Families are even being ignored when they try to warn staff something’s wrong! The worst part? We actually had better sepsis care a few years ago, but things have slipped. It’s wild that this is still happening in 2025. #SepsisAwareness #NHS #PatientSafety #Health #BodyHealth18693Share

Terry Brown+FollowNurse Shortages = Riskier Hospital Stays?Turns out, hospitals with enough full-time nurses see fewer patient deaths, shorter stays, and less chance of being readmitted. A big UK study found that cutting nurse understaffing isn’t just good for patients—it actually saves money in the long run. But here’s the kicker: hiring temp nurses doesn’t work as well as investing in permanent staff. No shortcuts here—hospitals need to hire and keep more nurses on the floor for real results! #NursingMatters #Healthcare #HospitalCare #PatientSafety #NurseStaffing #Health80Share
Douglas Robinson+FollowHospital Safety Starts at the TopDid you know the safest hospitals have leaders who are obsessed with patient safety? It’s not just about fancy tech or strict rules—when the C-suite makes safety a top priority, everyone feels empowered to speak up about issues. Hospitals that ace safety grades have bosses who set the tone, push for transparency, and make sure every voice matters. Real change starts when leaders walk the talk, and it trickles down to every staff member. Patient safety isn’t just a checklist—it’s a culture! #PatientSafety #HospitalLeadership #HealthcareCulture #SafeHospitals #Health120Share
Douglas Robinson+FollowNurses Spill on Safety Culture SecretsEver wonder what really makes nurses speak up about mistakes? Turns out, when hospitals create a positive, non-blaming vibe, nurses are way more likely to report incidents and help prevent future errors. In Jordan, nurses who felt supported and encouraged to learn from mistakes were much more open to reporting issues—especially if their bosses had their backs. Bottom line: a strong safety culture = safer patients and more honest conversations. Would you feel safe reporting a mistake at work? #NurseLife #PatientSafety #HealthcareCulture #SpeakUp #HospitalStories #Health110Share
