|

|
|
A new national standard for workplace First Aid kits has been introduced, recognising their importance and effectiveness. In 2009/10, 26,061 workers were injured sufficiently badly to require them to take more than three days off work. The first seconds after an accident are critical and well trained first aiders and medical professionals are, in many cases, able to minimise the effect of an accident to a casualty if appropriate first aid equipment is readily available.

| Pressure Care call to save millions |
|
| Aug 04 |

The Government are missing an opportunity to save millions by failing to target prevention of pressure ulcers in NHS provided care. Although the recent NHS White Paper highlights the need to tackle venous thromboembolism (VTE) on wards, it makes no mention of ulcers which cost the NHS over £3 billion a year and create longer than necessary hospital stays. Now the British Healthcare Trades Association is calling on the government to make pressure ulcer prevention a priority alongside VTE. Tackling the issue could save up to £600 million a year - which in turn would help the government to make £3 billion of savings towards their budget cuts by 2015.
