Sixteen organisations from France and the UK are coming together to launch a European project that will help tackle mobility problems faced by elderly and disabled people. It will be led by ESIGELEC-IRSEEM, a French engineering school and its research laboratory.
The project focuses on four work packages:
Lynsey McClean, Occupational Therapist from the Oncology Orthopaedic Team (pictured), is looking to raise awareness of the benefits - and dispel the myths - around employing health care professionals with seen and unseen impairments:
"As part of my MSc in Occupational Therapy, I conducted my own research entitled ‘Occupational Therapy practitioners’ views and perspectives of occupational therapy employees with seen and unseen disabilities'.
Take a look at the construction of the new inpatient ward block at our Stanmore site. This time-lapse film, shot by Jan Letocha, covers the whole of the project so far, from demolition of the old Patient Centre right up to the last pouring of the concrete to the top level last week. There is still more to do but we hope this gives you a flavour of progress so far made by Balfour Beatty.
On the 31st May the Care Quality Commission (CQC) published the National Inpatient Survey, which sought the views of 77,850 patients from all NHS trusts across England. The RNOH has worked hard since the publication of the previous survey in 2016 to further improve the experience of our patients who travel from all over the UK to receive highly specialist care from our expert teams.
Each year, we publish our Quality Account. This is a report about the quality of services we provide to our patients. The reports are published annually by every healthcare provider - including the independent sector - and are available to the public.
Quality Accounts are an important way for local NHS services to report on quality and show improvements in the services they deliver to local communities and stakeholders.
