You are invited to support a new research study from the University of Leeds exploring how everyday communication in healthcare teams relates to staff wellbeing.

The study, led by PhD researcher Olga Lainidi, invites UK healthcare workers to take part in a 7-day online diary study about communication, speaking up, and silence at work.

They are particularly keen to hear from critical care nurses and staff, whose experiences in high-pressure settings are vital to understanding communication and wellbeing in healthcare.

Participation involves:
- a one-time questionnaire
- a 7-day daily diary (5mins/day)

All participants will be entered in 2 prize draws: £50 & £100 GiftPay vouchers

Please complete the survey here: https://leedspsychology.eu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_dnh7cAPBWxHtNcO

The British Societies have published its guidelines on the management of emergencies in patients on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation.

BACCN Chair and critical care nurse Ian Naldrett represented the BACCN, who were the only nursing association to endorse this document which was the first of its kind guideline.

This ensured that the voice of the critical care nurse had clear representation in the development of these guidelines.
