🚨 On #WorldPatientSafetyDay, help us campaign for safer adrenal crisis care.

🚑 Stronger emergency response
🏥 Safer, consistent care

Adrenal crisis is a time-critical emergency, yet the life-saving treatment is full of obstacles. Learn more: https://loom.ly/S1MVWNE
Advocating for improved emergency hydrocortisone injection options
Since the discontinuation of liquid hydrocortisone in the UK, the ADSHG has begun a campaign to highlight the risks associated with the current adrenal crisis emergency injection process. This relies on mixing hydrocortisone powder with water prior to intramuscular injection: an intricate and fiddly process with over 10 steps. All theoretically to be done whilst experiencing a life-threatening adrenal crisis. Here we share our campaign steps to date.
