The Care Quality Commission (CQC) recently attempted to shed light on patient experiences in Accident and Emergency (A&E), surveying over 45,000 patients and ranking NHS Trusts against a national average. While surveys like this offer some answers, they miss the immediacy and depth of real-time, unsolicited feedback – leading to conclusions about #patientexperience that can be overly simplistic or even misleading. In light of Dr Penny Dash's review of the CQC and the CQC's release of the 2024 Urgent and Emergency Care Survey, we’re sharing a different perspective: a deeper, data-driven analysis that uncovers the full picture of patient experiences in A&E across the NHS. 👉 Swipe for: • A more nuanced view of what matters to patients in A&E across the best- and worst-ranked Trusts. • Recognition for high-performing Trusts overlooked by the CQC rankings. • The actual top NHS England Trusts for A&E patient experience, based on unsolicited patient feedback. Based on our analysis, these Trusts are the ones leading the way for exceptional patient experiences in A&E in 2024: #1) Dorset County Hospital NHS Foundation Trust #2) Royal Surrey NHS Foundation Trust #3) East Cheshire NHS Trust #4) Calderdale and Huddersfield NHS Foundation Trust #5) Royal Cornwall Hospitals NHS Trust #6) West Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust #7) Torbay and South Devon NHS Foundation Trust #8) East Sussex Healthcare NHS Trust #9) Maidstone and Tunbridge Wells NHS Trust #10) Norfolk and Norwich University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust 🏅 For access to the full report and rankings, DM or contact us at enquiries@pephealth.ai.

We recently caught up with Jeremy (Jez) Gee at the Bradford & Craven Long Covid Service which supports patients from Airedale NHS Foundation Trust, Bradford Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust and Bradford District Care NHS Foundation Trust to get his thoughts on our digital C19-YRS platform and the impact it has had on the local service. "On average the app takes admin 10 minutes or less to set a patient up to self complete assessment. This also significantly reduces clinician time required to assess the patient. Information from the app alongside the medical record are used to ensure red flags are screened and appropriate baseline investigations are completed. Reducing clinician and admin time at the front end has allowed for a larger amount of the funding allocation to be utilised on rehabilitation for people with Long COVID." It is fantastic to hear the impact C19-YRS has made on local services in supporting more patients in less time 👏 You can read more about how Airedale have adapted the system to suit their service needs here - https://lnkd.in/eGiR7nmG And if you would like more information or would like to a request a demo of the digital C19-YRS system, contact us on c19-yrs@elaros.com #nhspartnership #longcovid #postcovidsyndrome #healthinnovation

Elective recovery ❤️🩹 is a crucial objective for the NHS. Rising demands for emergency care can crowd out the capacity for accessible and effective planned care. And yet planned care is crucial to honour the NHS constitution and to proactively support people’s health needs promptly – ultimately reducing demands on emergency care in the first place. Although there is a clear need to drastically reduce the current backlog and improve elective activity across the NHS, growing demand, workforce issues and funding constraints makes this an incredibly challenging task. And in an election year, these challenges are only going to gain prominence. Last year, Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust (MFT) had the largest patient waiting list and the longest waits for elective care of any provider in the country. We worked with them to maximise the use of their Trafford Elective Hub, utilising patient insights and improving theatre productivity to increase elective activity. Our work with the fabulously dedicated team at MFT highlights the power of management consulting and service leaders working in collaboration to deliver notable improvements. And these results hopefully provide a source of optimism that significant progress is possible. Click here to find out more: https://lnkd.in/eC6juqVR #CFimpact #Electiverecovery #NHSwaitinglists

Important option to consider.
It was great to contribute to this Mail on Sunday article on the importance of patients being aware of their right to choose where they receive their #NHS treatment, including in the independent sector. With #NHS waiting lists at record highs, it's vital that patients are fully aware of their all choices - our recent research has found that NHS patients on average can cut three months off their waiting time by travelling just 25 minutes to an alternative provider. As our CEO David Hare MBE makes clear in the article, patients should be able to discuss all their treatment options in full with their GPs, particularly given that our research has shown that tens of 1000s of appointments made available by the private sector every month for NHS care are not being used. There's also a brilliant patient story from Janet who received her NHS hip operation at Practice Plus Group in Southampton and says "I really don't think enough people realise that they have a legal right to choose where to have their NHS treatment – and that they can find shorter waits."

I am delighted that Royal Papworth Hospital NHS Foundation Trust is now Sharing Admissions, Discharge and Transfer Data in the Shared Care Record across the Cambridgeshire & Peterborough Integrated Care System (ICS). For the first time, clinicians and other health and social care staff using the #SharedCareRecord across our region will be able to see this valuable information and how it can improve the care and services they provide. As UK’s leading heart and lung hospital, our availability of this information means that users accessing the Shared Care Record from other service providers will be able to see if their patient has previously been admitted to our specialist hospital for treatment. This will allow health and social care professionals to make informed decisions about the care and support they can offer a person across the Cambridgeshire and Peterborough area and beyond. The Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Shared Care Record electronically connects patient information from GPs, local hospitals, social care, community, and mental health teams across our area, helping to make care better and safer. Thank you, thank you to everyone who have helped make this step possible… 🙌🙌 Felicity Baillie Chris Johnson Christopher McCorquodale Adri De Sousa Sandra Silva @david yan Benjamin Anderson, Elliot Phoenix Christy Varghese @wayne ford @shashika jayasena Andrew Wall Öncü Altuntas Joan Oliver Philippa Wiffen MCIPR Dougal Fleming Michelle Yam Rob Nimmo Mark Hindle Dr Rozelle C Kane Cath Willcox Philip Hammond

“Most people would prefer to avoid a hospital stay if it is safe to do so. There are also many health benefits to recovering at home, in familiar and comfortable surroundings.” Virtual Ward Clinical Lead Salina Harvey-Porter is part of a growing team of NHS staff dedicated to providing hospital care from home. With over 400 virtual beds across south west London, this innovative approach to care is keeping people out of hospital, helping them go home quicker and freeing up beds for those who need them most.

The Times headline 30th March 2024 "NHS patients facing long waits will get private care". This is a rather pathetic sticking plaster or another move towards privatising the NHS. The doctors who work in the private sector are NHS doctors so the same clinicians are operating in both - but they cannot work in both at the same time so it is just a gimmick. The private sector needs to make a profit so it will cost the NHS more. These tactics add to NHS costs as does employing agency staff and in doing so kicks the can of increasing NHS decline down the road. No sign of the 40 new Boris hospirals!!! The Government and NHS need to take control of costs and allocate more for capital spend to create integrated hospitals (combination of acute and stepdown). These can provide 20% more beds at no extra capital nor operational cost. (it is achieved by a re-balance that I have worked on in other countries). This relieves the bed blocking - which will get worse very year because of our ageing demographic.

NHS England recently reported that A&E departments are facing what could be their busiest summer on record, with 4.6 million attendances in June and July - more than any previous year. From mobile clinics that bring care closer to home for early-stage symptoms, to high-capacity medical solutions which can be integrated directly within the hospital estate, we're here to help with easing pressures by providing space to support with: ✔️ Increasing access to primary care services through community-based clinics ✔️ Utilising dedicated Urgent Treatment Centres (UTC) to manage non-emergency cases ✔️ Enabling hospitals to prioritise and triage urgent and critical admissions, without increasing patient waiting times in A&E Southend University Hospital deployed a temporary mobile solution to reduce patient handover delays and enable ambulance crews to get back out into the community quicker. Former Chief Executive of East of England Ambulance Service NHS Trust, now Chief Executive for Mid and South Essex Integrated Care System, Tom Abell said: "When people call 999 the public expect the ambulance service to attend, with units like this, it will help make sure that we can get ambulances back out on the road." If you require support with reducing strains on your A&E department or with taking care directly into the community, we're here to help.

Errol Archer is the voice of reason, insight and sophistication when it comes to health and social care regulation. I had the pleasure of working with Errol a few years ago and the points he makes here, following Dr Penny Dash’s report into the Care Quality Commission, are on point. The changes needed in health and social care can only start with the truth. https://lnkd.in/dwfKbdCF
Regulatory Solicitor, healthcare sector, specialising in regulatory matters relating to the Care Quality Commission (CQC) and Ofsted, and GMC and NMC professional disciplinary matters concerning Doctors and Nurses
Ministers stunned at CQC’s failings and declare it “not fit for purpose” It’s about time that the government gets a grip on the flawed inspections and the many blinkered and unreasonable inspectors that have found their way into crucial roles inspecting hospitals and care homes having, in one case never stepped into a hospital and another having never met a person with dementia. This may come as a surprise to the new Secretary of State but leaders, operators and professionals in the sector know these failings all too well and have been raising concerns about them for years. Let’s hope that this government doesn’t brush these many concerns aside or ignore the sector’s suggestions on how the regulator can improve. Patient safety is too important for it to be regulated so poorly. The Times reports Wes Streeting saying “When I joined the department, it was already clear that the NHS was broken and the social care system in crisis. But I have been stunned by the extent of the failings of the institution that is supposed to identify and act on failings. It’s clear to me the CQC is not fit for purpose.” Bhavna Keane Rao BKRCC Charlie Jones Tony Thiru Issac Theophilos Nadra Ahmed CBE DL 💚 David Pojur Simon Butler Simon Cavadino Simon Crowther Prof Martin Green Lucy Corner Lucy Scott-Moncrieff CBE Fae Mell 🌻 Jane Townson OBE Heledd Wyn Karolina Gerlich FRSA Julie King Estelle Richardson-McColl Darren Pollard Rachael Anstee Roger Waluube https://lnkd.in/eykJ3qWp.

The longest junior doctors strike in NHS history amidst ongoing industrial actions, the NHS in England's healthcare delivery story is a complex one. Recent figures show a slight dip in the overall waiting list for treatments, from 7.60 million in December to 7.58 million in January. However, the rise in patients waiting over 18 months for treatment to 14,013 signals a missed target, challenging the NHS's recovery goals. 🏥🚩 The fight against extended waiting times shows promise, with the number of patients waiting more than 52 weeks for treatment dropping to 321,394. The NHS is on a mission to eliminate these prolonged waits by March 2025. 🕒✅ In this turbulent landscape, Meridian Productivity stands ready to help. Our methodology, fine-tuned to align resources with healthcare delivery demands, offers a solid foundation for NHS trusts striving towards recovery.
