The Simple Things Which Help Medical Staff

 Medical staff have a range of equipment to help them do their jobs. Some of these are often overlooked because they’re not directly linked to saving lives. Yet, without them, the job would be more challenging than it already is.

  • Medical Carts
  • Fridge and microwave for staff use
  • Posture and sensor tracker
  • A mug warmer

Medical Carts

Without medical carts on wheels, doctors or nursing staff wouldn’t be able to have as much vital equipment or information to hand. It saves time as they check on all their patients, rather than having to keep walking back and forth to get something they need for each new patient they check on.

As this is a job that already requires being on their feet all day, nursing staff can at least reduce the amount of legwork they need to do.

These medical carts also make it easier to protect confidential information, as they can be locked when not in use.

Fridge and microwave for staff use

As the hours are long, and the breaks are short, there’s rarely time to go outside of hospital grounds to get a healthy meal. So, although it may not help patients directly, if staff have access to a fridge and microwave, they can bring in their own food. This can be healthy if they choose, and lets them have some control over their diet.

Being healthy if you’re working in the medical profession is important for several reasons. You need to be well enough to keep up the high workload, and if you’re overweight, it can be difficult to get some patients to listen to your advice on their own weight. Even if this is because you’re too busy looking after their diet to concentrate on your own, they won’t see it that way.

Posture and sensor tracker

Medical staff may have a lot of lifting to do. Although they will have manual handling training, it’s easy to forget this sometimes. A posture and sensor tracker can alert you to bad posture, so you can use what you already know to improve your posture.

These can be used with a smartphone, and also when you’re not at work. They don’t just track your posture, but also keep track of your activity. As you already know, keeping fit is crucial to working in the medical profession.

A mug warmer

A simple item like a mug warmer can be useful in nursing. It’s common to make yourself a hot drink, then be called away to help a patient, only to return to a cold mug of coffee or tea. A mug warmer can keep your drink hotter for longer, so you won’t always have to make a new drink if an emergency takes you away from it. It might not seem important, but medical staff are human too and need to hydrate just like everyone else.

A few simple items or gadgets can make a lot of difference to medical professionals. Some of these may not be immediately obvious to those outside of the profession, but they do have indirect benefits for patients.
