Reducing Adverse Outcomes – ICST

Reducing Adverse Outcomes

What we know from work-steams across the UK is that good multi-disciplinary working is vital for good tracheostomy care. The multi-disciplinary team should contain a wide variety of professionals, including physiotherapists, speech and language therapists, nurses, intensivists, anaesthetists, ENT surgeons.

Working collaboratively improves patient outcomes.

From a patient’s perspective, the outcomes that really make a difference are being able to communicate, talk, swallow, eat and drink as early as possible.
