👂💙 Friday Healthy Ageing Tip | Protect Your Hearing, Stay Connected!

Good hearing helps us stay connected with family, friends and the moments that matter. As we age, hearing changes can happen gradually, sometimes without us even noticing.

Taking care of your hearing is an important part of healthy ageing! 🌿

Here are three simple tips:

👂 NOTICE THE SIGNS – Finding it difficult to follow conversations or frequently asking others to repeat themselves? Don't ignore the signs.

🔊 PROTECT YOUR EARS – Avoid prolonged exposure to loud sounds and keep the volume at a comfortable level.

🩺 GET YOUR HEARING CHECKED – If you notice changes in your hearing, speak to a healthcare professional for advice.

💚 Good hearing keeps you connected to what matters.

🇲 Il-Maniġment tan-Nursing tal-AACC u l-Practice Nurses tal-AACC riċentement temmew programm ta’ taħriġ dwar id-de-eskalazzjoni b’kollaborazzjoni mas-Servizzi Nazzjonali tas-Saħħa Mentali. It-taħriġ saħħaħ il-ħiliet prattiċi tal-ħaddiema, it-tekniki ta’ komunikazzjoni, u l-kapaċità tagħhom li jirrispondu b’mod effettiv u professjonali f’sitwazzjonijiet diffiċli.

Din l-inizjattiva tirrifletti l-impenn kontinwu tagħna lejn l-iżvilupp tal-ħaddiema, il-kollaborazzjoni bejn professjonisti minn oqsma differenti, u t-titjib kontinwu tas-servizzi. Permezz ta’ investiment fit-taħriġ u tisħiħ tal-ħidma f’tim, inkomplu nippromwovu ambjent aktar sigur u nżommu standards għoljin ta’ kura għar-residenti u l-utenti tas-servizzi tagħna.

Dan il-programm jifforma parti minn proġett kontinwu, b’aktar infermiera mistennija jibbenefikaw minn sessjonijiet ta’ taħriġ fil-futur. Hekk kif aktar membri tal-istaff jiżviluppaw dawn il-ħiliet importanti, l-impatt pożittiv se jkompli jinfirex fost ir-residenti u l-utenti tas-servizzi tagħna, filwaqt li tkompli tissaħħaħ kemm is-sigurtà kif ukoll il-kwalità tal-kura fis-servizzi tagħna.

🇬 AACC Nursing Management and AACC Practice Nurses recently completed a de-escalation training programme in collaboration with Mental Health Services. The training enhanced staff members' practical skills, communication techniques, and ability to respond effectively and professionally in challenging situations.
This initiative reflects our ongoing commitment to staff development, interdisciplinary collaboration, and the continuous improvement of services. By investing in training and strengthening teamwork, we continue to promote a safer environment and uphold high standards of care for our residents and service users.
This programme forms part of an ongoing project, with additional nurses set to benefit from future training sessions. As more staff develop these valuable skills, the positive impact will extend further to our residents and service users, enhancing both safety and quality of care across our services.
