Abstract:
The demand for a pre-operative assessment is growing and the current process results in many patients having to attend an additional appointment which is severely impacting on capacity. To overcome this, it was agreed to test out a “One-Stop Triage” process that would result in increasing capacity, while also improving patient satisfaction, which was extremely low. Following engagement with patients and colleagues, a new triage process was agreed and tested for 10 days. Following the trial, the data showed significant improvements to an increase to capacity, due to a decrease in additional appointments, while also significantly improving patient satisfaction. The aim now is to roll out the process to PRH and make this the new standard practice for our patients who require a pre-operative assessment.

Abstract:
Guidance was recently approved and uploaded to the SaTH intranet (early April 2023), stating that high risk NOF fracture patients or those unable to tolerate oral bisphosphonates are more likely to benefit from a single 4mg infusion of zoledronic acid followed by 2 weeks of calcium & Vitamin D supplementation, with an overall aim of increasing bone density and reducing risk of further fragility fractures by ~50% by 10th May 2023.

Abstract:
NHS Staff Survey results, staff listening events and informal feedback indicated reduced levels of staff engagement and opportunities for Quality Improvement within the inpatient therapy teams at PRH and RSH. Despite embedding national job planning initiatives within the Therapy Centre, staff reported feeling unable to take their allocated Supporting Professional Activities (SPA) time and felt unable to meet the conflicting demands of their job. A model of monthly Quality Improvement Half Day (QIHD) was trialed in October and November 2022 in the Stroke and Rehab Therapy team to offer therapy staff an opportunity for regular, protected SPA time as a whole team. As a result 90% of the team felt that the sessions allowed them to develop and demonstrate their leadership skills and the team were able to implement a number of service improvement projects.

Abstract:
Following the Multi Agency Discharge Event in August 2022, one of the key successes was the reduction in the medically fit for discharge list. Following the debrief of the event the SaTH UEC Improvement Programme would like to explore how the number of patients who reside with SaTH for over 21 days can be reduced.
