IFDC vs SHOT UK

IFDNC is an innovative smartphone app that helps parents through their NICU journey in the ethos of family integrated care. The app offers an up to date and comprehensive educational material, developmental timeline and different diary functions to document the neonatal journey and memories. Our units provide care to high risk, often critically ill neonates, and family integrated care is one of our guiding principles. The overarching goal of family integrated care is to support parents in becoming equal members of the neonatal team and participate in providing active care for their infant with the help of a competency-based training. This App and educational material was designed for our Integrated Family Delivered Care project, but even if parents are not able to participate in this new care model it can help them a lot on their way. We hope that with this material we can help you to prepare and engage parents in this journey, and understand what is happening to their Baby. Our app gives the opportunity to learn more about neonatal care, chart expressing, skin-to-skin cuddles and feeding progress and growth as well as record events, pictures and memories of your journey.

Since 1996 SHOT has been collecting and analysing anonymised information on adverse events and reactions in blood transfusion from all healthcare organisations that are involved in the transfusion of blood and blood components in the UK. Where risks and problems are identified, SHOT produces recommendations to improve patient safety. The recommendations are put into the Annual SHOT Report, which is circulated to all relevant organisations including the four UK Blood Services, the Departments of Health in England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland; the relevant professional bodies and all reporting hospitals. The Annual SHOT Symposium brings together delegates from across the UK and beyond for the launch of the Annual SHOT Report and to share ideas, learn from peers and develop professional contacts. This one-day event includes presentations and debates on the hottest topics in transfusion safety, a poster competition, an abstract competition, and an opportunity for delegates to ‘Meet the Experts’ who help to make SHOT one of the world’s leading haemovigilance schemes.
