Abbramat Mouse Mat: Medical Abbreviation Guide (UK) Over 90 common medical abbreviations on a Mouse Mat... The ambiguous medical abbreviations have been avoided (OD, DOA etc.)... Dimensions (approx): 24 cm X 19 cm... Ideal for anyone working in Medicine, Nursing or Midwifery, especially Students… Available in Pink and Blue... May also be used as a spelling aid, for some of the common-but-difficult-to-spell medical terms... Examples of abbreviations include: CPR, CRP, TCI etc... Please note: To be used as a Guide only. Some abbreviations have several different meanings, and there may also be local variations. [Copyright: Lister] The Abbramat is a Mouse Mat - AND a Medical Abbreviation Guide - AND a Spelling Aid - All in One Medical and Nursing Abbreviations can be incomprehensible to those who are not used to them. Especially junior students, new hospital staff... and patients and their families too. Message to Student Nurses: If you’re a brand new Student Nurse, sitting in on your first few “handovers” or “ward reports” may be quite bewildering for you. The nurse “handing over” will be speaking very quickly. Especially if the ward is very busy. Which it will be... And she’ll use lots of Abbreviations. Abbreviations that mean absolutely nothing to you – at first. The good news: You’ll soon get used to Abbreviations. The bad news: Abbreviations are not always interpreted as they were intended. Sometimes this can cause problems, where patient care is concerned. So be very careful when you hear or read an Abbreviation. It may not mean what you think it does. If in doubt: Ask... It’s better to be safe than sorry. Who is the Abbramat for? (UK) Healthcare Workers Health Care Assistants (HCAs) Student Nurses Student Midwives Physiotherapy Students Occupational Therapy Students Medical Students NHS Medical & Nursing Staff from outside the UK Qualified Staff Paramedics / Paramedical Staff Teachers / Mentors Hospital Managers Medical Secretaries Receptionists (in Hospitals & in GPs’ Surgeries) Support Workers And Others... Abbramat as a Spelling Aid
Medical terms are often very difficult to spell. And they’re often missing from computer spell checkers. Your Abbramat will help you to spell these tricky words properly: diarrhoea, ischaemic, staphylococcus, tuberculosis and more...
