THE VICTORIA CLIMBIÈ CASE

[@lorennash882]

I was the last year to follow the old specifications of health and social care before they changed over, but I imagine that this case will be highlighted when you go on to talk about multidisciplinary and multiagency services and the differences between them.

Any tips for how to become a children’s nurse? Eg work experience? xx

[@amyjones3602]

Lexie Cheung Any care experience is amazing, even if it’s not with children, because there’s transferable skills like working with the elderly/dementia. Firstly you get the basic hydration and elimination care skills that can be used on everybody. Secondly your role as a carer for these adults who are vulnerable puts you in the position where you become an advocate for that person which is one of the most important roles of a children’s nurse (sadly in Victoria’s case this didn’t happen as well as it should). Also when you work with adults you also work with their families as a lot of the time it is them making the decisions on their care if the patient has advanced dementia, which is a transferable skill as with children you work with their parents and families to provide holistic care. Most of all show compassion. If you want to throw me any more questions I’m more than happy to help 😊 x x

[@Rascalbeans]

This story hits home so hard for me because we were about the same age. Adults in my life could suspect I was suffering from abuse by biological mother. I was in and out of hospital and relatives would pick me up from visits and I was put back into the home of my abusive mother. I was raised in a big family of 9 and I was the oldest and 2 minutes older than my twin sister. The abuse only got worse when I started secondary school and I would regularly come into school with bruises, burns and also black eyes. The only adult that actually took notice and consistently spoke to me was my student support teacher Ruth she built trust with me enough for me to tell her what was going on at home, and one day took me to the side and said “you’re not going back home, I am calling social services”. I didn’t even fight against it. I was sooo tired of it all I just wanted to feel safe. I was put into foster care that very night with nothing but the clothes on my back and my P.E kit, as my biological mum refused to give social services any of my clothes. I tell you when I heard this I just laughed because I couldn’t give a toss about stupid clothes. The first night I spent in care I swear I have never had the best night sleep in my life. I grew up and I began my childhood the day I was cared for properly and I was safe. My first foster carers who were only meant to be temporary carers ended up being my long term carers. My mum who I hate to call foster mom is the best bloody mum a child and adult could ask for. Ruth the Student Support teacher SAVED MY LIFE, when others looked away she chose to step and actually care. Eleanor you have my respect for telling this story the way you did.

I was thinking exactly this!!

I hope someone gave him ‘scabies’.

Non dermatological doctors are really bad diagnosing or treating skin tbh

I've had scabies which I got from laying on a bed my ex stepmom just got up from. I didn't know she had scabies or even what they were, I was like 8 or 9 at the Time. Untreated scabies is very contagious so one would think all 3 people living in that small apartment would also have contacted scabies if truly infact had them. Medical professionals should have known that

So far karma hasn't hit her, from what I found online, in 2012 she got a £60k a year job at a Middlesex hospital. So unfair.

[@KennyDarlsson]

This is genuinely heartbreaking. Just the thought of her being away from her family, and then thinking she’s safe and getting a better life I never normally cry watching these videos but this just really breaks my heart

The saddest part of the photos of her burns injuries is that she's still smiling. What a brave little soul.

I hope those people have never managed to get jobs in the industry again. Absolutely horrific that they just ignored everything and couldn't be bothered to help her.
