That the Parliament congratulates Hayleigh Bloomfield, who won a national award after her idea for a new approach to pain management sparked national interest; understands that Hayleigh, who is a nurse working in the neurology department at the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital (QEUH), has created a pain management protocol for patients living with motor neurone disease (MND); understands that Hayleigh started to notice patients struggling with pain post insertion of tubes in their stomach to help with feeding, fluid intake and medications, and wanted to find something that would allow her to help; further understands that a proper protocol did not exist on paper as such, and that Hayleigh worked with fellow nurses, doctors and pharmacy teams to develop the new written protocol, which has since been adopted on HEPMA, NHS Scotland’s digital tool for prescribing and managing medicines within hospital environments; understands that the protocol is currently undergoing an audit process, seeking the views of patients who received care before the new protocol, and those receiving support under the new arrangements; notes that, while the process is ongoing, Hayleigh created a poster to explain the process of developing the new protocol, reasons for the audit and to explain the importance of the work being undertaken, and understands that Hayleigh entered the poster for Best Poster Presentation competition at the British Association of Neuroscience Nurses conference, which she went on to win.

No division on record. Either the chamber agreed this motion without a vote, it was withdrawn before debate, or it predates 2011 — vote-by-vote records only run from then.
Computer-generated best guess

Possible final motion text as originally lodged

No carried amendments applied

This is a computer’s best guess at applying carried amendments to the original motion text. It uses simple text rules for phrases such as “insert at end”, “after X insert Y”, and “leave out from X to end and insert Y”. Treat it as an aid, not the official motion text.
