Star of the Week – respiratory physiology team

April 20, 2020

This week’s Star of the Week goes to the respiratory physiology team.

Amina Mohammed and her team have been working very hard to up skill ward nurses to allow them to initiate continuous positive airway pressure for patients with COVID pneumonia and respiratory failure.

Normally this is provided in high dependency unit setting but with the COVID pandemic we had to scale up our facility to provide this treatment for a large number of patients. This meant training a lot more nurses. Amina and her team have stepped up to provide this training.
