Decluttering unused dispensed surgical dressings!
Had an interesting job this week sorting through 2 years of unused, dispensed surgical dressings residing in several large plastic storage boxes. It left me wondering whether there is a glut of repeat prescriptions being issued unecessarily!! I came across a couple of interesting links about surgeries having to take back supplies but not being able to re-issue, seems such a waste http://bma.org.uk/about-the-bma/how-we-work/professional-activities-and-special-interest/patient-liaison-group/dispensed-but-unopened-medications. I also found a link to a charity using donated medical supplies at Health Units in Africa, http://www.intercare.org.uk/donate-medicines/what-can-be-donated. So it seems it is possible to use certain types of medical supplies if they comply with WHO guidelines!
On being social!
Ok, so here goes, my very first post!! I am not usually stuck for words, and having spent a brilliant day at Rheged in Cumbria listening to a number of very knowledgeable people talk about Social Media @ashfieldpeter, @dianneuclan, @jackieharris and Search Engine Optimisation stuff, I decided that my blog can no longer wait. It’s all about being social isn’t it? So, now I realise there is sooooo much more to share with everyone, all I can say is watch this space…clearerspace.com of course, whilst I clear away my clutter and focus on being social.
