BBraun IV safety newsletter

This recently published BBraun IV safety newsletter is full of articles and features such as the article by Dr Mike Ashton, Consultant Gastroenterologist, at Chesterfield Royal Hospital, who highlights that even after 36 years of practice, accidental needlestick injuries can happen. 

Paula Ingram discusses her experience with NHS Lothian after the benefits of changing from a Teflon catheter to a Polyurethane catheter were recognised. In addition, Paula discovered that they could also protect staff by introducing a safety cannula.  

Finally Catherine Briggs, Anne-Marie Brompton and Lyndsey Moulding from the Mid Yorkshire NHS Trust write on the success of introducing an IV safety cannulation pack.
