Annual
review 2011/12
|
In 2011/12 the Trust won the Health
Service Journal's (HSJ) National Patient Safety Award. This
prestigious accolade was awarded for an initiative to prevent
hospital acquired pneumonia in patients which led to a 60 per cent
reduction in cases.
Also in 2011/12:
- for the second year in a row we have been named as one of the
fastest hospitals in the country for treating heart attack
patients. This is for the number of patients who receive a primary
angioplasty within 150 minutes of calling 999.
- the regulator for health and social care, the Care Quality
Commission registered the Trust to practise ‘without
conditions’ at each of its sites.
- we have remained MRSA free for over 24 consecutive months
(since March 2010).
- our new £28 million Royal Berkshire Bracknell Clinic opened and
is providing vital cancer and renal services. The state-of-the-art
clinic is located just outside Bracknell
Town Centre.
- we have taken over the delivery of all outpatient appointments
at Townlands Hospital, Henley.
- the team working for our diabetic patients won three silver
Quality in Care (QiC) awards.
- in December 2011 our first dialysis patient completed treatment
in his own home. This scheme is currently running as a pilot and
some patients no longer need to come into hospital three or
four times
Survey Results
- the reponse rate for our inpatient survey for
2011 was higher than the national
average.
- 94 per cent of patients commented on the inpatient survey
that they would recommend this hospital to family and friends.
