t’s that time of year again – to
celebrate the shining lights that
make us so proud of our organisation.
The truth is that all through the year
so many of you are involved in giving
your best and going that extra mile.
The fantastic effort and commitment
made by our shining lights makes a
massive impact on the reputation of
the West Suffolk Hospital.
This is my first opportunity to really
say thank you for all of your hard
work – and more than just hard
work: It is the special touches of care,
concern and real commitment that
make such a difference to patients’
lives. I am overwhelmed at the very
real affection that is built up through
so many contacts day by day, and
even more so by the value that it
represents to our community.
Our hospital is a special place
for all of us. For some, the personal
contributions are such that they
deserve a special recognition and
that is what Shining Lights is all
about. You are recognised for all the
achievements shown in your work,
for going the extra mile and
continuing to learn and grow.
Within West Suffolk Hospital we
are all part of a team – one that is
committed to giving its best and,
in doing so, adding so much to the
goodwill that the hospital enjoys.
This is my personal thank you
for your care, your
contributions and,
above all, the
commitment
that improves
all our lives.

from its staff, but unless there is a
way for people to share them they
are often lost.
Thanks to information governance
manager Barry Moult, these ideas are

he set up.
So far, the forum has fed 30 ideas

income and improve patient care
through to ideas about how to use
resources more effectively.
No idea is a bad idea, as each notion
sparks other thoughts which could

overall reduction in the time patients
stay in hospital, a better process
for discharging them and improved
rehabilitation after their illness.
Thanks to their efforts, the hospital
saw occupied bed days reduce by
about a third, meaning other people
who needed a bed were able to have
one sooner.
Their work included a study of
why some patients were staying
over 28 days and what could be
done to help them, a unified referral
process to hospital and community
beds so patients received care in
the most appropriate setting, and
a more streamlined way of making

Privacy the key
B
efore junior sister Liz Hirji set up
a specific phone-in clinic results
service in the GUM clinic, patients
would often call to find their results
were not to hand, they could not get
through or there was little privacy.
But now, thanks to Liz, people have
telephone appointment times between
11.45am and 12pm on a Monday, their
details will be ready for their results
to be given to them and they will be
speaking to someone in a private room
so the other part of the conversation
cannot be overheard.
Feedback so far from patients has
been extremely positive as they no
longer have to wait on the phone,
while staff no longer have to chase
around for files, so they can concentrate
more fully on the people at the clinic.
A dedicated star
C
hris Whitton has played a vital
role within the hospital’s Health
Records and Outpatients Services.
Her dedication to management and
treatment of patients with leg ulcers
has helped to reduce waiting lists in
this area.
Chris has worked hard to encourage
a good liaison with the district and
practice nurses by developing a
proforma for use in the leg ulcer clinic
and the outpatients department.

C ar e
more
streamlined
approach to looking
after people needing
replacement hips and knees, and
those with a broken hip, is in place
thanks to the efforts of orthopaedic
nurse practitioner John McRoberts
and senior sister Jane Chilvers.
John involved consultants and
a multidisciplinary team when he
developed a chart which documents
the patient’s journey, from the time
before their admission through their
operation and through their recovery
in hospital.
Before John developed the single
document, which is kept at the foot
of the patient’s bed, different teams
involved in the person’s care kept
their own records. Now, they can
cross-refer more effectively and more
quickly, which has an overall benefit
for the patient.
Jane fronted a multidisciplinary team
to establish a similar care pathway for
people with a broken hip (neck
of femur).
The outcome of her project will
lead to an improved journey for the
patient through the Trust, ensuring
they will receive the most appropriate
care and investigations at the most
beneficial point.

The system enables forward
planning by estimating the
amount of time required to deliver
care to each patient and highlights
where appointments would have
been wasted because the ulcers have

waiting lists.
Chris’ unstinting support for her
colleagues in the main outpatients
department has also improved all
round working relationships.
A culture of understanding
U
nderstanding people’s differing
cultures and beliefs is an
important step in helping care for
them. The Rev Canon David Crawley
has been nominated for an award
for his work in providing multifaith
resources for both staff and patients.
The multifaith room has been
welcoming more and more people
of different beliefs
and religions while a
multifaith directory on each ward
provides telephone numbers of
representatives of different faiths.
Thanks to his work, staff are much
more aware of people’s differing
