Lenora Leonard replied to the topic IV Teams in the forum
Miscellaneous 4 years agoGood morning Judith
We don’t have an IV team in Beacon; we do have a phlebotomy service that take bloods from inpatients in the mornings but they do not manage IVs. I think SJH have an IV team and have completed a lot of work on IV Management, surveillance and education.
Kind regards

The difficulty is the different types of gowns and aprons that have been supplied especially directly from the Far East, these are loosely boxed so the trolley outside the door had had to be used, to avoid the box on the floor.
