A MORAY woman is limbering up to take on an epic trek in memory of her husband who died in his 40s from Motor Neurone Disease (MND).
Christine Lester (61), from Auchenhalrig near Spey Bay, plans to take on the 2021 Himalayas Challenge in tribute to her late husband, Tim, who passed away in 2009, aged just 49, after suffering from the terminal illness for two and a half years.
Ease of use
Most respondents who answered the question on ease of use agreed or strongly agreed that Patientrack was easy to use (Fig 2). However, 47% (27 out of 57) reported that using the system took longer than the paper version; this finding has been explored further in a subsequent study, which is yet to be published. It appears staff valued Patientrack, as 66% of respondents (36 out of 54) felt it should be rolled out to the rest of the hospital.
Clinical areas that frequently use bank or agency staff reported finding it challenging, at times, to ensure appropriately trained staff were available to record patients’ vital signs on the electronic system. Technical challenges (for example, passwords expiring and problems accessing log-in details) were also reported; these prevented some staff members from electronically recording vital signs.

Breast cancer patients given lower-than-standard chemotherapy doses by NHS Tayside have called on Jeane Freeman to help resolve the “grievous damage” caused by unanswered questions over their care.
Around 200 women were given lower doses between December 2016 and April 2019 in a bid to reduce harmful side effects, a decision that a Scottish Government-commissioned report later stated resulted in an increased risk of their cancer recurring.
A support group set up by women and families impacted by the issue is asking the health secretary to become directly involved in the final months of her parliamentary career, following fresh revelations about a botched review into the health board.
