🅰️ Fonts & fatigue Fonts aren’t just style, they’re ergonomics. The right choice depends on context: • Serif: better for long print reads • Sans-serif: clearer on screens • Wearables: clarity beats aesthetics • Code/data: monospaced for accuracy (use sparingly)

This should be on every front page… NHS activity has doubled over ten years! Try and grasp the fact that the amount of activity staff are doing for patients has more than doubled in ten years! Beds haven’t. Staff numbers haven’t. Time hasn’t. kingsfund.org.uk/projects/nh…

Would you drive for 8 hours non stop before taking a break? My car displays 'rest recommended' after 2.5 hours! ☕️ Other safety critical industries know performance deteriorates over time, yet in healthcare we can sometimes forget Even short breaks can make a huge difference

Advice from a 40+ yr nurse on the subject of medication administration: There are only a handful of IV drugs that can cause problems if they are pushed too slow There are a shitload that will cause problems if pushed too fast. Take away: When in doubt- push it slow
