Improving Outpatient Experience Workshops

News - 12 March 2019

North Bristol NHS Trust (NBT) is committed to providing outpatient services that are responsive to the needs of patients,
Improving outpatient experiences

hey have just started on their journey to improve their outpatient services from the point of referral to discharge. They need your help and experience to create together the best service possible.

This is an invitation to you to take part in one of two workshops:

 

Daytime:

Date: Thursday 14th March

Time: 14:00 – 16:00

Venue: Coniston Community Centre, Patchway, BS34 5LP

Evening:

Date: Thursday 14th March

Time: 17:30 – 19:30

Venue: Vassall Centre, Fishponds, BS16 2QQ

Register to attend here: https://bit.ly/2Nxyd8t

 

In addition to hearing from voluntary and community organisations about experiences they have heard of NBT are also looking for people to join the workshops who have recently experienced health care through the outpatient services at Southmead Hospital (North Bristol NHS TRUST) either as a patient, service user or a carer in the last 24 months (2 years). The Trust will not be able to deal with personal matters of concern in the workshop but want to hear from a wide range of perspectives what makes good outpatient experience as well understanding what the impact of poor experience is.

 

North Bristol NHS Trust can provide the travel expenses on receipt of travel, parking etc.

Or contact E: nickdean@thecareforum.org.uk / 0117 9589 330

Please let us know if you require any access support and this will be arranged.

We look forward to seeing you there.

Improving your care while waiting for surgery

Our work with a local hospital trust has led to a range of measures to improve the experiences of people on a waiting list for surgery. Keeping people updated about their place on a list and taking personal needs (such as housing and social support) into consideration are two of the steps that are being taken.

We visited six inpatient wards managed by Avon and Wiltshire Mental Health Partnership across the local area. Patients and staff told us what's working well, and where improvements are needed.
