Following a successful pilot, we're extending the opening times of our Lister Adult Urgent Treatment Centre (UTC) to 8am-10pm 🏥
Last admissions to the service will be at 8pm, though clinicians within the UTC may continue to admit patients past this time

Overcrowding harms both patients and dedicated A&E staff 👩⚕️👨⚕️. On this #WorldPatientSafetyDay, let's recognise the urgency for change and work together to create a healthcare system that prioritises dignity, safety, and timely emergency care 🚑.

EXACTLY this. In a ever increasingly complex ED this is where we must spend our time 👇

Great example that real change is worth the wait 👇🤩
We really don’t do Kaizen events enough….are we too busy?
They yield so much when trying to get to the root of those ‘nagging’ process problems.

Great presentation from Walsall Healthcare really putting the powerful message of the need for a discharge lounge into perspective. 1 patient going to the discharge lounge supports 5 patients in total #biggerpicture @LancsHospCITeam
