BRADFORD’S hospitals will be striving for a perfect week starting tomorrow, testing out ways of improving patient care.
The Perfect Week will run until Wednesday, April 29, involving every member of Bradford Teaching Hospital Trust’s staff from clinicians to managers.
The Foundation Trust says it will see health and social care professionals across the district working together to solve problems and deliver a real improvement in patient quality and safety.
Its chief operating officer Helen Barker said: “Every member of staff will play a part and we will all work together to ensure our patients are admitted, treated and discharged as quickly and as safely as possible.
“During the Perfect Week We will test new ways of working to identify how we can improve the way that patients move through the various steps in the health and social care system, from the ambulance service and GPs, through the hospital and back out into the community.”
The week will be managed along similar lines to the Foundation Trust’s major incident plan with a command centre and clinical management meetings throughout the day to keep a close watch on how the hospital is performing and how the overall patient experience is improving.
