Data: each specific number is a human life; one that is on a journey.
In relation to covid, death is not an easy death, illness is not an easy illness.
It would have been a frightening journey for all involved

“Data itself has no value. It’s what you do with the data & the Qs that you ask

Data needs to tell the truth. If it doesn’t, it’s useless”

Right data, right format, right Qs & needs to be actionable.

Covid pts were put on Non-Covid wards 😱
We heard repeatedly ‘we were following IPC Guidelines’ 🤔

“a sign of insanity, doing the same thing & expecting different results”

Did no-one say why aren’t these guidelines working?

“It’s all about:

Communication
Respect
Listening

Never once have the Health Boards consulted those who were actually there, how we think things could be made better: communication, IPC, DNACPR”

Anna-Louise Rees-Marsh for Bereaved families for Justice Cymru on the confusion around DNACPR

“It says on my dad’s CPR “we explained to the pt that CPR would be futile”. I pray they didn’t use that word “futile””
