A huge thank you to Amy York. She has been the driving force behind F22s success of podding specimen samples to the lab, rather than using urgent Porter requests when not needed. She has informed all drs to send Blood cultures via the pod @recogniserescue @ajosephnotts @F22Ward

Ward based blood culture education on E16, D57 and AMRA. Ensuring blood cultures are taken at the right time, with the right volume, the right number of sets, using the right technique and sent immediately to microbiology. #letsgetthisrighteverytime #WAAW22
