Sorry we’ve been a little quiet personal circumstances have got in our was but we have massive news… today was a good day…
Massive massive day for my little team…..
Meet the little face that has been through such a horrific journey, a nine day stay hospital that has had such a horrendous impact on our life for the last 6 months….
As nurses we endeavour to improve patient services… many people aren’t aware but after Jayden’s stay causing us to have so much trauma and not going to lie Iife has been horrendous I decided to raise my concerns and after submitting a 38 page complaint… 190 days from being admitted today I had a meeting with multiple managers and specialities..
I’m so proud to say that we have changed processes within UHDB. Jayden will never know the good that he has done, that he is the reason that services will now improve for all future paediatrics throughout the whole trust…. You have paved the way for little ones be managed with an improved quality of care…..
Here’s a few of the changes we have made…
🌻 adjusted head surgery prep for patients with Afro hair
🌻change of practice dressings used post operatively….
🌻Dressings/tissue viability champions for the paediatric ward.
🌻improving pain management for paediatrics under our care
🌻improving professional conduct
🌻improving communication between services
🌻ensuring further learning and training in areas that need improvement.
🌻improvement of ward based speciality referrals, to ensure we look at the whole patient.
Jayden your resilience, attitude and heart makes me so proud… I look at you in admiration… I actually can’t believe your mine and you’ve been through so much for a little boy we have a long road ahead of us but you are a warrior with the heart of a lion….
As a nurse all I ever wanted was to improve patient journey with UHDB… and I’ve done it…
The support I’ve received from management and work colleagues within the ED department has been amazing.. you have litterally held me up and kept me going, I don’t know where I would be without you….
Jaxon has been my Little Rock while I was off for four months held me while I’ve sobbed and gave me kisses… for ten years old you are just a beautiful human being…
I’m so thankful of what I get to call you both mine
Jayden's Journey
