Q2 Multidisciplinary team

The team have been nominated forsuccessfully implementing safety huddlesto prevent pressure ulcers and patientfalls. The huddles have helped staff toachieve a run of 142 days without apressure ulcer, compared to a pre-huddlerate of one every 18 days.

The team meet daily for ten to 15 minutesto discuss each patient and their riskfactors, and which interventions need tobe implemented. All of the multi-disciplinary team, including doctors,nurses, allied health professionals,domestic staff and housekeepers, areinvolved and have ensured the huddlestake place daily from Monday to Friday.

Reducing pressure ulcers and falls canhelp to reduce length of stay, improvepatient experience and reduce costs.

The team have been nominated for theirwork in creating the Patient Safety Zone(PSZ), which helps to improve safety byensuring patients receive the correctinformation, medication and treatment.

The PSZ was trialled in the renal unitand the team are now looking toimplement it across the Trust.

It ensures that certain key actions arecarried out in the presence of the patient,without interruption. Staff introducethemselves by name, check the patient'sname and date of birth and ensure alltest samples are labelled andinvestigations ordered.

The PSZ has improved efficiency byensuring the right patient receives theright treatment for the right outcome.Reduced interruptions help to reducethe number of errors, including in bloodlabelling.

Clinical teams are fully engaged in theprocess, with drop-in sessions availableto discuss the PSZ and any issues theyface.

Clinical Education Team

The team have been nominated for theinvaluable support they provide to newly-qualified midwives, who describe themas “fantastic.”

Support they provide includes organising'pop-up' training sessions for juniormidwives, 'how has it been for you'listening sessions where staff can discussany issues they have, and individualisedtraining plans for returning midwives.This ensures all staff have up to dateclinical knowledge and skills, enablingthem to provide the best quality of patientcare.

They also lead on patient safety projects,such as the neonatal early warningsystem.

Consultant midwife Alison Brodrick, whonominated the team, praised them fortheir can-do attitude and commitment.

She said: “What makes this team standout is their flexibility and motivation toimprove patient care. I have never heardthem say 'we can't do that.' They worktogether to deliver solutions. They aremotivated to continually improve servicesand patient experience. They areinvaluable.”

It covers patientstransferring from the Children's Hospitalas well as therapy treatment for 16-25year olds in the young person'srheumatology clinic.

They have established new carepathways which require only oneconsultant appointment rather than twoor three, and go out of their way toeducate teachers and employers aboutinflammatory joint disease.

They have successfully developed ayoung-person centred, holistic therapyservice which is unique outside ofLondon. Their approach is uniquelytailored to the needs of young peoplein a vulnerable and turbulent time.

Stroke is a devastating consequence ofAtrial Fibrillation (AF), and it is thereforecrucial to detect AF by implementingpreventative strategies.

This hasreduced length of stay for some patientsand allowed very rapid performance oftests and improved pathway of care forthe patients.

The team have been hugely supportivein trying to offer on the day investigationfor high risk patients, reducingunnecessary trips for patients who areoften elderly and speeding up the timeto diagnosis and treatments. They havefrequently arranged urgent in patienttests within 24 hours and have made ahuge effort to meet increasing servicedemands.

The improvements have been clearlyshown in the recent audit for outpatientinvestigations.
