Abstract:
Colleagues are currently covering multiple staffing gaps and each drugs trolley has a variety of drugs and a different layout. Variation can result in delays to patients receiving their medication or receiving the wrong medication in error along with poor staff satisfaction. Following a meeting with the Deputy Director of Nursing- Medicine, it was requested that all wards within the division reviewed the drugs trolleys on the ward area and were encouraged to utilise 5S principles.
