“The team cares immensely about making things better for our staff and patients, even though they aren’t patient-facing. They always go above and beyond to help our staff to make improvements happen,” Sarah Scales, Associate Director of Transformation.

Supportive and always keen to make improvements, it’s time to talk about our Transformation team 🩵

They work with teams across the Trust to help them make changes that improve our services and develop a culture of continuous improvement. No project is too big or small – from assisting with planning projects to delivering training workshops or helping team members to identify and track improvements in the way they work.

Recent projects carried out by the team include theatre preparations for the Cancer and Surgical Innovation Centre opening and adding outpatient and inpatient information to our patient portal.

Thank you to our Transformation team!

Whether it’s staying late to make sure a patient is settled or adapting her approach to those with complex needs, her commitment to care is inspiring.

Mirela possesses a natural ability to build trust, a cornerstone of successful rehabilitation. Her therapeutic approach doesn't just improve clinical results, it restores hope and confidence in patients during vulnerable moments.

“They are flexible and creative in accommodating individualised care plans and appointment requirements to best support patient needs. Nothing is too much trouble for them,” – Katie Salmon, Matron of Surgery.

We’re celebrating our brilliant Fracture Clinic Team 🙌

Made up of nurses and orthopaedic practitioners, the team treats patients with injuries to bones, soft tissue and other musculoskeletal issues – seeing approximately 500 patients a week across outpatient clinics and our inpatient wards.

The nursing team works alongside other colleagues including doctors, Clinical Nurse Specialists and administrators to keep clinics running smoothly and patients appropriately supported.

They deliver clinical care such as nurse-led dressings, applying and removing casts, wound care and pain management advice. They also provide guidance on safely carrying out daily activities while recovering.

Beyond direct patient care, the team works behind the scenes to ensure a smooth flow of patient appointments, carry out timely X-rays, and make sure all consultants have the necessary patient information needed for each appointment.

Thank you to our Fracture Clinic!
