Emergency Seminar Unveiled in BD, Catering to Knowledge Exchange Among Specialists in Emergency Medicine Departments
Highlighting Emergency Department Safety for Healthcare Workers Across India
In an initiative to promote discussions and raise awareness on the safety of healthcare workers in emergency departments, BD (Becton, Dickinson and Company) has launched the 'BD Safe Emergency Seminar' series in various locations nationwide.
Emergency departments in hospitals require high efficiency, which often increases the risk of blood exposure, blood splashes, and needlestick injuries (NSIs). Such incidents can potentially expose healthcare workers to serious illnesses such as Hepatitis A, Hepatitis B, and HIV. The BD Safe Emergency seminar serves as a platform for convening doctors from emergency departments across hospitals in each city to discuss and share best practices for ensuring safety in high-efficiency work environments.
Atul Grover, Managing Director of BD India/South Asia, commented on the seminar series, stating, "Our BD Safe Emergency seminar aims to draw attention to the importance of healthcare worker safety, particularly in dynamic and high-efficiency environments. We are dedicated to creating a platform for raising awareness and sharing best practices on this crucial issue. This initiative is part of BD’s broader commitment to fostering the well-being of healthcare professionals and enhancing patient outcomes."
The seminars held in different cities featured scientific discussions on the burden of blood exposure, sharp safety, and vascular access in emergency departments. Experts from premier city hospitals shared valuable insights and data on needle stick injuries, blood exposure, and splash, emphasizing the need for stringent safety protocols to protect healthcare workers. The discussions were followed by case studies demonstrating real-world scenarios and the effectiveness of various safety measures.
