This week we are celebrating the Health Care Assistants on Elm ward as Team of the Week!

They have been trained to assess & mobilise femur surgery patients the day after surgery, they're empowering faster recovery. More patients are up & moving, shortening hospital stays.

We've carried out our first ever joint replacement as a day surgery procedure.

Martin had a right shoulder replacement in a pilot which is being trialled for day surgery joint replacements meaning patients can go home the same day.

A&E rising demand isn't driving long waits in A&E. Attendance rates are not dramatically up from pre-pandemic levels. The real issue is collapse of social/community care provision & some increased acuity. This is driving longer stays & means fewer open beds for ppl to go into
