Trust: Milton Keynes University Hospital NHS Foundation Trust

Milton Keynes University Hospital delivered an impactful campaign that raised awareness and improved staff confidence in recognising and managing hypoglycaemia. Through interactive sessions, hands-on training, and engaging activities, the initiative reached a broad audience, ensuring key messages were understood and applied across the hospital.

• Ward visits: The campaign’s ward visits provided opportunities for staff to increase their knowledge in real-world settings, tailoring their learning to practical, patient-focused care.
• Interactive quiz: 175 participants completed the interactive quiz, achieving an average score of 17.7/20. The quiz reinforced key learning points in a fun and competitive way. It encouraged active engagement, sparking discussions among staff and solidifying their understanding of hypoglycaemia symptoms, treatment strategies, and preventive measures.
• Education sessions: Structured training sessions complemented the hands-on activities, focusing on improving staff awareness of hypoglycaemia management. These sessions covered real-time glucose monitoring, timely interventions, and the importance of collaborative approaches to care. Visual aids and training materials further enhanced the sessions, ensuring that key concepts were communicated effectively.
• Feedback: The campaign succeeded in increasing confidence among staff, as reflected in their active participation and positive feedback. Staff reported feeling more prepared to recognise hypoglycaemia symptoms and apply effective treatment strategies. The ward visits and quiz were particularly impactful, fostering a deeper understanding of both emergency and preventive care.

By combining interactive tools, practical training, and cross-hospital collaboration, the campaign has set a new benchmark for hypoglycaemia education and awareness, ensuring a lasting impact across the trust.
