Duty room wall IPU

Just finished a busy few night shifts. The dark and the quiet of the night can be the most difficult time for patients. Little distraction and with time to think, can increase their anxieties in turn exacerbate other symptoms. Managing these symptoms is not just about pharmacological interventions, it's also about sitting with them at 3am with a cup of tea, chatting about whatever they need to chat about. The writing on the duty room wall says it all, it's about making a difference.
